Researchers at Ohio State University have invented fluorescent nano-particles that change color to tag molecules under the microscope. This series of photos shows a particle changing from red to green – and, at the 89-second mark, to yellow – over the course of two minutes. Image by Gang Ruan, courtesy of Ohio State University.

"As chancellor, Eric Fingerhut has been a fierce and able advocate for higher education. Through his innovative approach and effective guidance, he has created significant opportunities for Ohio’s colleges and universities to assume leadership as the primary resource for the state’s economic future. All Ohioans are the beneficiaries of his efforts to ensure access to higher education and to build quality in our institutions. Eric’s long devotion to Ohio and to the civic good has made a lasting mark; and on a personal level, I greatly value his friendship and leadership."
