A computer-generated image that depicts a discovery made at UNL now graces the cover of an annual booklet from the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. The illustration – a double helix of ice molecules revealed by UNL chemists Xiao Cheng Zeng, Jaeil Bai and Jun Wang in 2006 – adorns a publication detailing guidelines to be followed by undergraduate chemistry programs receiving official ACS approval. The guidelines were initially developed in part by Joseph Francisco, dean of the UNL College of Arts and Sciences.
