Beauty isn't rocket science--but sometimes it is nanophysics. Scientists and photographers used tools ranging from traditional cameras to X-rays to million-dollar microscopes to create the art in "Images From Science 2," on view at the Rochester Institute of Technology beginning October 11. The exhibition follows a four-year international tour by its predecessor, "Images From Science."
