Photographing New Frontiers

At first glance, we want to go there.  Is it somewhere in the southwest of the United States, or maybe those amazing mountains in Jordan where the dwellings of Petra might be just around the corner?

No, it is a photograph taken by a group of scientists showing a layered compound called Ti2ALc2, from a family called MXene.  Click the image to go to the slideshow for The Best Science Visualizations of the Year at Smithsonian magazine’s website.
