Physics@MIT – No. 38 / 2025 Annual

Creating this original cover artwork for the MIT Physics@MIT 2025 Annual (No. 38) was an honor—especially as my second time designing the journal’s cover since first contributing in 2022. For this year’s edition, I developed a visual language that merges laboratory glassware, ion-trap geometry, and quantum-energy gradients to reflect the precision and complexity of modern nuclear and molecular physics. Radiant rings, refractive surfaces, and particle-like structures evoke the search for hidden symmetries in nature and the amplification of subtle physical effects in cutting-edge experiments.

I also created the scientific figures for the feature article by Prof. Ronald F. Garcia Ruiz, “Searching for Time-Reversal Violation with Unstable Molecules.” The artwork builds on the paper’s core ideas—leveraging unstable molecules, laser spectroscopy, and electromagnetic traps to probe fundamental time-reversal symmetry violation and explore physics beyond the Standard Model. Through a blend of digital illustration, photonic textures, and abstract visualization, I aimed to illuminate the interplay between quantum structure, nuclear deformation, and experimental innovation at MIT.

It’s been a privilege to contribute once again to a publication that showcases the forefront of MIT Physics and the creative possibilities of scientific design.

为 MIT《Physics@MIT》2025 年度刊（第 38 期） 创作这幅封面作品是我的荣幸——尤其是在 2022 年首次参与设计之后，这是我第二次为该期刊担任封面艺术创作者。今年，我创造了一套融合 实验室玻璃器皿、离子阱结构以及量子能量渐变 的视觉语言，以呈现当代核物理与分子物理研究的精密性与复杂性。发光的环形结构、折射的表面以及粒子般的形态，象征着对自然界隐藏对称性的探索，以及在前沿实验中放大微弱物理效应的过程。

我同时为 Ronald F. Garcia Ruiz 教授的专题论文《利用不稳定分子寻找时间反演破坏》创作了全部科学图示。作品呼应论文的核心思想——通过 不稳定分子、激光光谱学和电磁阱 来探测基本的时间反演对称性破坏，并进一步探索超越标准模型的物理图景。借助数字插画、光子纹理与抽象可视化的融合，我希望呈现 量子结构、核形变 与 MIT 先进实验方法之间的细微关联。

能够再次为这本展现 MIT 物理学前沿研究 与 科学设计创造力 的出版物做出贡献，我深感荣幸。
