I built this visualization of isosurfaces of electron density in Blender. The image is a snapshot of electron density that is ejected from a thin piece of aluminum after an energetic proton impacted the material. These processes happen in radiation environments, including nuclear reactors and outer space, but are also used in research labs to manipulate and characterize materials. From visualizations like this, we learn how the radiation affects the material and the time scales following ion impact.
