It would be way cooler if you would have told those of us who are too lazy to click the link what it is.

This image illustrates evolving dynamical patterns formed during the spreading of a surface-active substance (surfactant) over a thin liquid film on a silicon wafer. After spin-coating of glycerol, small droplets of oleic acid were deposited. The usually slow spreading process was highly accelerated by the surface tension imbalance that triggered a cascade of hydrodynamic instabilities. Such surface-tension driven flow phenomena are believed to be important for the self-cleaning mechanism of the lung as well as pulmonary drug delivery.

Kinda neat. More fun when you are at the electron microscope

An optical micrograph of spun-on polymer-blend film. When a chloroform solution of poly(9-vinylcarbazole) is spun on to a glass substrate, the resulting film has a very rough surface because the chloroform evaporates too fast.

I am staring and staring at it, I can not see the hidden picture.
