Seeing is believing?
No full textThis photograph originally appeared in the 2014 Research student photography and image competition held to celebrate National Science Week (Aug 16-24). Blurb: Guizhou province is one of the biggest minority provinces in China, where there are numerous minority areas experiencing tourism development under the label of Pro-poor tourism (PPT). What we saw is prosperous tourism market in these destinations with PPT strategy guided by China government, but does this strategy really help poor people eliminate poverty or instead, enhance the polarization of wealth distribution and the loss of discourse space?
During my survey in Guizhou, I witnessed that poor people are still trying hard to be the beneficiaries of tourism development and they are unable to gain long-term benefits from PPT for the lack of essential skills, knowledge and capital. And it is worthy to note that irrational development of tourism has led to serious cultural changes among minority areas
Kangaroo Go
No full textThis photograph originally appeared in the 2014 Research student photography and image competition held to celebrate National Science Week (Aug 16-24). Blurb: Kangaroo Go is a microscope image of novel optical lenses. A contour of Australian map comprising of 162 lenses and a contour of a kangaroo comprising of 89 lenses have been fabricated on a ultrathin film with the thickness of only 1/100 thick of a paper (see the inset image), with a single lens size of only 1/10 thick of a human hair. Strong focusing of the lenses (white focal spots in the image) can be observed when shining light on the film. Moreover, the two sets of lenses are specifically designed so that the kangaroo shows much larger brightness compared to the Australian map
Buckled metal nanostructures on thermally shrunk plastic
No full textThis photograph originally appeared in the 2014 Research student photography and image competition held to celebrate National Science Week (Aug 16-24). Blurb: This scanning electron micro-graph shows what happens to a thin (15 nm) layer of chromium, when it's supporting stretched plastic substrate has shrunk to one quarter of it's original area. The rigid metal is forced to buckle and crack into petal-like nanostructures shown in this scanning electron micrograph. The false color map was created by overlaying two different scanning electron images of the same area, taken using different detectors. Colors roughly correspond to the angle an electron is reflected from the nano-petals
