bright shiny distraction
The average CBC reader probably has something more than I do in terms of attention span, but I've been getting bored with writing lit posts.[1] I haven't had much occasion to take pictures this summer, but I was mesmerized by the iridescent colors on these SEM samples. I could tell you what they are, but...trust me, they're not really that exciting.[2] Enjoy!

[2] By which I mean they are 100% inorganic. Ew. No carbon, no fun...

Most of what you see is aluminum, covered by a thin film of CdSe, covered by a very thin layer of gold. They weren't remotely colorful until I took them out of the sputterer.
This looks just like the debris that was recovered at the crash site in

Hah, I must have gotten my memory flashed after that one.
