First developed in 1954, six years before the laser, the maser has not been as widely used as its optical counterpart, as masers have historically required conditions of high vacuum or extremely low temperature to operate. The ubiquity of the optical laser means that it is easy to overlook its elder sibling, the maser (essentially a microwave laser).

THE MASER, AND HOW TO CAPTURE LIGHT WITHOUT SPECKLESīackground. Think too deeply about what is doing the manipulating. The design solution of the tweezers enables the non-specialist viewer to understand that molecular control is happening, but without having to We decided to try something less prominent than the hand, agreeing to showĬontrol by tweezers (final cover, top image).”Įxercise in finding the right metaphor to communicate an esoteric, complex idea to anĪudience of non-specialists. As Nature is a multidisciplinary journal, we walk a line between getting the essentials of the art right for specialists, while at the same time creating a dynamic and understandable image for scientists outside of the field. That angle, which distracted from the molecule itself. Oddly with the trigonal planar cation, and was too large when rendered from Works well, the idea of using the hand did not work out. Place (third image). While this overall composition One of our first drafts shows the wireframe hand holding a molecule in In this way the difference between three substituents was On the intermediate, I decided to use not only shape and color, but also different
To show the difference between the three substituents I decided to show all molecules inģD with reflective materials. With her because I really like this style.
In a wireframe style, to make it more symbolic than realistic, and I agreed Previously undiscovered acting talent (second image). Started rotating it to find the best perspective.ĭecided to help me and played a role of the attacking molecule, displaying Hand and try to see it from different angles. To model a hand holding something I always look at my own Modeling of the hand isĪlways a challenging part for me because the hand should look anatomicallyĬorrect and elegant. Idea was to show the molecule being held by a hand. This requires some sort of visual metaphor that people can relate to.
He helpfully sent usĬhemDraw files of the molecules, and worked closely together with Kelly and meĬonvey the idea that a molecule was being controlled. We worked withĬorresponding author Eric Jacobsen to refine this idea. With the attacking group coming from the other side. One of the ideas which came from theĮditors was to show a trigonal planar cation being held in place by the catalyst, ‘Directing the undirectable’ was the working cover line at the start of the Illustrator Ella Marushchenko answered! Ella hasĬreated many striking journal covers in the past, so we knew she would be upĭescribed a new way to hold a molecule in place at a particular orientation. We called for aid - and expert scientific When we decided to feature it on the cover, we knew it would be a challenge to visualize. Unlike some papers in Nature, this one is not easily understood by (An accessible summary of the research can be found in this excellent News & Views piece. This work will presumably enable future researchers toĮxplore a vast new ‘chemical space’ of all possible molecules.
