Porcine gelatin containing natural dye developed to increase the potential application of natural dyes in powder for preparation of desserts, drinks, jelly beans, confectionery, in order to make these healthier food products and reduce the consumption of artificial dyes directly related to toxicological problems to human health. The image shows the high power particles present to absorb moisture and become swollen.

Gold nanoparticles on an ITO surface under a layer of graphene. The structure of the ITO, which is transparent in optical microscopes, is visible in blue. The nanoparticles are clearly visible through the very thin layer of graphene. Sample prepared by Joanna Niedziolka-Jönsson for this article: dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4867167
