Nicole Jacquard (above), a professor of fine arts at the Henry Hope School of Fine Arts on the IU Bloomington campus, is using an IU New Frontiers in the Arts and Humanities grant to wed nuclear physics to the fine arts. She has been using prototyping equipment at the IU Cyclotron Facility to produce utilitarian art renderings from a corn starch material patterned from her own virtual 3-D designs and working with IUCF director Paul Sokol to expand access of the facility beyond the sciences to other intellectual activities at the university.
