TITLE: Sunny-side-up Egg; SUBJECT: With some added color, this image of an embedded material particle closely resembles a classic breakfast delight. The particle was inadvertently deposited inside a glass food jar during formation while the glass was still red-hot. The yellow 'yolk' in the image corresponds to an area enriched in tin, while the 'whites' correspond to areas that were bubbled and cracked due to reactions with the surrounding glass. Embedded particles on the interior of a glass container lower its strength; therefore, determining the composition of particles is the first step in eliminating the source of the contaminants.; CREDIT: Brandon Aldinger, American Glass Research; METHOD/INSTRUMENT: JEOL IT-300LV

SUBJECT: A multilayered titanium carbide MXene with oxides on its surface is visualized as Dragon Fury. The two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2Tx MXene layers were formed by selective etching of Al layers from the Ti3AlC2 MAX phase using hydrofluoric (HF) acid. This image captures the essence of Dragon Fury and symbolizes a powerful start to the dragon year 2024. The scale bar of the image is 1 micron.; CREDIT: Nithin Chandran B S, Purdue University; METHOD/INSTRUMENT: JEOL JSM-7800F
