Caption:
This beautiful pattern of wrinkles unexpectedly arose after University of Wisconsin-Madison biochemistry graduate student Jenna Eun grafted a small sheet of water-loving "hydrogel" onto the top of another material and added water. While the hydrogel absorbed the liquid and expanded, the underlying material did not, putting strain on the hydrogel and causing it to buckle. Eun's photograph, taken under a microscope, won second place in the 2008 Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge and appeared in the Sept. 26, 2008 issue of Science magazine.
