The Art of Anodizing: The Science Behind Colorful Titanium and Niobium Jewelry
If you’ve ever admired the colorful hues of titanium or niobium jewelry, you’ve seen anodization in action!

Body Piercing As Self-Expression
As humans, our diverse interests, unique aesthetics, and cultural values are often reflected in how we present ourselves to the world. For centuries, many cultures have used make-up, tattoos, and body piercings as vehicles of meaning, status, and identification.
