See-through brains (by NatureVideoChannel)
Scientists have come up with a way to make whole brains transparent, so they can be labelled with molecular markers and imaged using a light microscope. The technique, called CLARITY, enabled its creators to produce the detailed 3D visualisations you see in this video. It works in mouse brains and human brains; here the team use it to look into the brain of a 7-year-old boy who had autism.

Gazing into the sublime: glass paperweights and keychains display data from astronomy, biology, math and physics.
Laser etching is a remarkable way to see complex 3D data. I use high-frequency lasers driven by hand-tooled software to create fine-grained, cleanly drawn structures.
