Scientists have often invited the public to see what they see, using everything from engraved woodblocks to electron microscopes to explore the complexity of the scientific enterprise and the beauty of life. Sharing these visions through illustrations, photography, and videos has allowed laypeople to explore a range of discoveries, from new bird species to the inner workings of the human cell.

Even the most mundane, unremarkable, or sometimes disgusting phenomena take on a totally new life when viewed at a supermacro scale. Case in point, a new timelapse film dubbed "The Rise of Molds" captures the mesmerizing growth of a subject we've all at one time or another cut out of a slice of bread or scrubbed off our bathroom walls: mold.

The folks over at Envisioning Chemistry have created yet another spellbinding time-lapse that will appeal to photography nerds and science nerds alike. Using a polarized light microscope, they captured the kaleidoscope of colors as various substances crystalized in front of their lens.

Envisioning Chemistry—the collaboration between the Beauty of Science and the Chinese Chemical Society that seeks to “reveal the beauty of chemistry through special techniques such as macro and micro photography, high-speed photography, time-lapse photography, and infrared thermal imaging"—has released another fascinating entry.

The intersection of art and science can be a beautiful place, a point that's made very clear by the online video project Envisioning Chemistry. In their latest creation, you can watch a chemical reaction ripple through a petri dish, a beautiful example of an "oscillation reaction."

In honor of The International Year of the Periodic Table, the scientists behind the Beauty of Science project set out to capture the 11 chemical elements that make up 99% of your body in the most artistic way possible.

Beauty of Science is a project that wants to engage people with science through stunning macro photos and videos of chemical reactions. Photographer Wenting Zhu of Hefei, China, captures the incredible sequences of chemistry in action.

The Beauty of Science project bid farewell to 2016 in an appropriately beautiful way. Using old footage and outtakes from their previous experiments, they illustrated all four Earthly seasons in a gorgeous end-of-year video that'll have you itching to break out that macro lens.

The Beauty of Science project stumbled across something awesome this week when they dropped different color M&Ms into a petri dish of water and watched them dissolve. You'd never guess it, but the colorful "show" these dissolving candies put on is absolutely captivating.

Let's be honest, the best part of High School Chemistry was definitely setting stuff on fire, which is probably why we enjoyed the latest "Beauty of Science" video so much. Following up on his stunning Crystalization timelapse, Yan Liang decided to capture combustion next.

Yan Liang, the man behind the stunning Beautiful Chemistry macro videos we shared with you two years ago, is back. And once again, he's captured the magic of chemistry in stunning 4K macro timelapses that will take your breath away.
