General Chemistry
Research Bench
Laboratory glassware and instrumentation used in modern chemical research.
Unit 1 — Organic Chemistry
PET Plastic Flakes
Shredded polyethylene terephthalate, the polyester broken down by engineered enzymes such as FAST-PETase.
Unit 2 — Thermodynamic Chemistry
Heliostat Mirror Field
Concentrated sunlight directed onto a solar receiver, the thermal source driving thermochemical hydrogen production.
Unit 3 — Chemical Equilibrium
Breaking Wave
Seawater carbonate chemistry shifts as atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves into the ocean surface.
Unit 4 — Electrochemistry
Battery Cell Layers
Anode, separator, and cathode layers from a disassembled lithium-ion cell, the site of paired redox reactions.
Unit 5 — Quantum Model of the Atom
AFM Cantilever Tip
An atomic force microscopy probe, the instrument used to resolve orbital-related signatures of single atoms.
