Figure 1 - Common crystalline atomic structures: (a) simple cubic; (b) body centered cubic; (c) face centered cubic. Inorganic metals frequently have the face centered cubic form.
Figure 2 - The molecular chemical composition of the individual bases that form DNA. The linear sequence of these bases in DNA encode unique amino acid sequences to build all cellular components.

Figure 3 - A carbon nanotube being used to create a new type of transistor switch: (a) microscopic view; (b) representation of switch cross section; (c) I-V characteristics. As the gate voltage is increased, the channel current is reduced. Negative gate voltage drives the carbon nanotube into a conducting region. (Courtesy of IBM.)
