Uranium doped silicon dioxide (”uranium glass”) under UV irradiation. This thing is hot! Hoping the plastic bag around it will stop most of the alpha emissions!

STEM-HAADF image of lead sulfide quantum dots forming a ring. Not the best quality image (and a lot of organic contamination), but I thought it looked cool.

With an election coming up I was thinking the periodic table is kind of like various political affiliations with electrons as the currency of chemistry.
Group 3 and 4: Liberals
Noble gases, Group 11 and 12: Conservatives
Vanadium and group 7: Swing voters/independents
Metalloids: Undecided
Carbon: Green party
Fluorine and Group 1: Anarchists
Arsenic, mercury, cadmium, thallium, or lead: Any political party you dislike
Lanthanides, Actinides, and other weird elements: Conspiracy theorists
