Beautiful Science Visualizations

HIV Virus
Beautiful image, but horrible reality


AraNet
Genome-wide Gene Function Association Network for small flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana
-artists mapped the links between functioning genes in technicolor


T4 Bacteriophage
Bacteriophages are viruses that inject their genomic information into bacteria. This particular image is of the enterobacteria phage T4.
I was surprised how much this looked like the illustrations in textbooks


Tomato Seed Hairs
Tiny hairs on tomato seeds called trichomes secrete goo that hydrate seed and help seed plants and not blow away
