I am going to be adding some more information soon on the following topics on which I have worked.
Computational Chemistry
DFT calculations for HOMO-LUMO band gaps, energy levels, and electron cloud visualization.
Molecular Modeling
Organic Synthesis
Reaction Mechanisms
Polymer Synthesis
Kinetics
Instrumental Analysis
Examples of the types of results/data in the form of concentrations, graphs, images, spectra, etc.
Summary of each of the techniques [...]
Nanoparticles of iron compounds + a colloidal solution of water, oil and a surfactant = Awesome ferrofluid video.

When a magnetic field is applied to the fluid, the particles of iron compound inside align to it creating a fluid solid. Click here for more information.
“The retina is a lush layered field of tissue lining the back of the eye, a complex mix of specialized cells that serve as a transfer station where light signals are absorbed and sent to the brain to be translated into sight.
Researchers from University of Wisconsin, Madison have now created these unique retina cells from [...]

“Whoever thinks science isn’t fun must have never heard of Legos. The colorful construction toy has been used before as a cellular teaching tool. But these days, even researchers working in the nanoscale world get to play around a little.
Johns Hopkins engineers are now using Lego to visualize what is (or might be) happening on [...]

“Since 2006, about 30 percent of the commercial honeybee population has died off due to Colony Collapse Disorder. Though many theories have emerged about the causes of CCD since it first began ravaging honeybee populations, a study released this week has identified the first molecular marker of the disorder.
Researchers from the University of Illinois and [...]
