On a black background, an irregular purple shape with one large oval mass and two smaller clumps on either side, with orange highlights in the center of each shape, though the highlight in the middle is much larger and has white in its center. Headshot of Ashfia Huq A clean room with employees working at workstations on the left, a work table in the center with an employee looking down at a sample. Simple oblong cells are seen against a black background, looking like individual bubbles or small clusters. The membranes glow green and red. The left molecular diagram shows how an individual platinum atom (gray) has replaced a cerium atom (green) on a cerium oxide surface. In the diagram at right, hydrogen molecules (white) applied to the surface split into hydrogen atoms that bond with cerium. This atomically tailored catalyst demonstrated impressive performance. The colorful final panels on the exterior of the Perlmutter supercomputer photographed at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center. An abstract decorative representation of atoms in molecules interacting. Many colorful interconnecting particles on a black field. Close-up of a square metal and plastic lab component with tubes and copper wiring connected. Two researchers posed to the right of a lab bench with various scientific instruments.
