Day 27 #SciArtSeptember prompt bounded made me think of electrons and how whether they are bounded or free determines the nature of materials so I’m sharing my portrait of Millie Dresselhaus (née Spiewak; November 11, 1930 – February 20, 2017). 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci She was a professor of physics & 🧵

When we were kids, we’d take the unopened bud of this white flower, pop it on each other’s heads and shout, “Jump up and kiss me!” The little pop really did sound like a kiss. So here’s to a Jump-Up-And-Kiss-Me Saturday for you all. #WokeToJoy #WeekendVibes

Close-up of a cluster of small white flowers and round green buds against glossy leaves. The petals are delicate, with a faint pink tint at the center, known locally as “Jump up and kiss me.”

Look “space green” kosmochlor may be of meteorite origin and occasionally carved as it’s associated with jadeite, but blue kyanite definitely gets the arts vote for jewelry and use in porcelain and pottery glazes. Plus is gets physics points as an index metal. #MinCup25

Elephant and two boys Period: Qing dynasty (1644–1911) Date: 19th century Culture: China Medium: Kosmochlor jadeitite Dimensions: H. 5 1/4 in. (13.3 cm); W. 4 1/4 in. (10.8 cm) Classification: Jade Credit Line: Bequest of Edmund C. Converse, 1921 Object Number: 21.175.113 This sculpture of two boys seated on a crouching elephant is from the Met. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/43285

Kyanite is a naturally occurring aluminum silicate mineral that typically forms as bladed crystals, and occasionally it occurs as radiating masses of crystals. The name kyanite is derived from the Greek word kyanos which means “blue.” Gem quality kyanite has a royal blue color similar to fine sapphire. This material is highly prized by those who cut gemstones. Kyanite can be cut en cabochon, faceted, or fashioned into beads, however its variability in hardness and color zoning can make it difficult to fashion and facet. Transparent intense blue kyanite is beautiful and is considered to be an exotic gemstone because it is not often seen in jewelry. Kyanite is predominately found in shades of blue and green, but it can also be yellow, white and orange. This 5.87ct gem is an intense deep blue color and the largest and finest kyanite from Nepal in the National Gem Collection. Smithsonian Museum"

The squirrels are so active right now that they are bumping all the cameras. This camera goes to my protected birdbath and it got knocked off. I always like to see if it caught anything and this time it got a golden crowned sparrow. It’s mostly cut off, a head shot…it’s forging on the ground. #Birds

jiminy's animal reviews: This is a type of wrasse found in the Caribbean Sea known as a slippery dick (𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴), which was also the Secret Service’s code name for Bill Clinton. They’re not valued by anglers or aquarium owners, so it seems nobody wants to put their hands on it. 🧵

Puffleg seems to be a good name for a sparkle-bird with floofy white leggings. Lots of tropical birds are under-studied and this is one of them. They are common where found, but have unexplained breaks in their range. Sapphire-vented Puffleg, Zuroloma Preserve, Ecuador

A bird with iridescent blue on the head and face, iridescent green on the body and wing coverts, fluffy white feathers on the legs, and dark brown wings and tail. It is perched on a branch and facing left.

Cedar waxwing in the golden hour at Pointe Mouillee SGA. Sept 10, 2023

I’m gonna defer to Merlin to describe a cedar waxwing: “Plump, smooth-plumaged bird … [with a] sleek crest, black mask, pale yellow wash on the belly, and yellow-tipped tail.” It’s perched atop a dead tree and is looking back across its shoulder.

Greater yellowlegs looking content in a shallow puddle. Was. Just thinking today it’d be cool to see some of the waders again before they take off for southern climes. Sept 10, 2023

Merlin says the greater yellowlegs is a “fairly large shorebird with bright yellow legs … gray upperparts with white speckling, streaky neck, and white belly … [and a fairly long slightly] upturned bill.” This one. Was standing in a quiet pool of water that was almost as deep as the birds legs are long.

Another cool property of #zunyite is fluorescence! This sample holds hundreds of small octahedral fluorescent #zunyite crystals in a matrix of mostly non-fluorescent quartz. From the Big Bertha mine in La Paz County, Arizona. #MinCup25

Above: Small octahedral zunyite crystals show deep red fluorescence under short wave UV (254nm). There are also grains of a second, unidentified fluorescent mineral present, that shows a bright orange response.
