No. 1. Fukushima Nuclear Accident—Radiation Comparison Map, 31 March 2011. (Created by R. Hoetzlein, 2011. Image is in the public domain.) Second version of the map, showing (1) the International Nuclear Event Scale, (2) common world nuclear events, (3) radiation by distance at Chernobyl and Fukushima, (4) maps of regional radiation levels at specific times and (5) specific nuclear accident events at Fukushima. The vertical axis in all cases is the milli-sievert dose (mSv), calculated as a dose rate per unit time of one hour. A high-resolution version including details on unit calculations can be found at <www.rchoetzlein.com/theory/fukushima>.

No. 2. Radiation wave passing over Kashima-nada, Ibaraki Prefecture. A radiation wave moved through the air from east to west over the eastern coast on 21 March 2011, 9:00 a.m., several days after the main event of 15 March. The inset (right side) shows a detail of Ibaraki Prefecture. During this week, MEXT data is not available for Fukushima (purple), possibly due to intentional censoring. Created as an animated movie, this graphic demonstrates how radiation continued to affect the area well after the primary events. Animation is available on-line at <www.rchoetzlein.com/theory/fukushima>. Data from Marian Steinbach.

No. 2. This image from the Milton Keynes Mutable Matter Workshop shows the beginning of a nanotechnology-supported ecosystem. Other models from Phase 2 of the Mutable Matter project were described as nano food, transformable traffic markings, materials with increased density, protection against malicious "nano," "super smooth" abrasives, morphing materials and organic computing.

No. 1. Amanda Wilson, Survey Image 2. Electron tomogram of a lysosome, transmission electron microscope, tomography, processed using Adobe Photoshop, 2006. 3D model of a multivesicular lysosome created from an electron tomogram (a stack of transmission electron microscope images). The colors are artificial, added to clarify the various structures and to enhance the aesthetic quality of the image. 2nd-Prize winner in the EM Life category, Royal Microscopical Society's Microscience 2006 Micrograph Competition.
