For the first time, scientists have used an imaging technique that’s so precise that it’s possible to see the different lengths of individual atomic bonds. Using a method called non-contact atomic force microscopy, IBM researchers scanned a microscopic probe with a tip only an atom wide over a nanographene molecule and measured the forces between the probe and the sample. In this colored image, the bonds with more electrons—which are also shorter—are a brighter green.

Even the "Who's" cannot hide from Horton, now!
The repelling aura of the cells are a brighter green.
The cell has a nucleus with chips (nuclei) of itself in orbit.
Horizontally to the nuclei orbit, chips are flung out to produce a pole on each side of the orbit.
The cell and all its chips contain the complete make up of the species.
The nuclei orbit speed and maturity will determine the strength needed for the poles to pull the cell apart. The nuclei at a pole with all the information of the nucleus of the cell centers to the mass producing a new nucleus with its orbiting chips.
The cell Earth with one orbit, rock with two some minerals and all life with three and a new species (BRAIN) with four.
HONEYCOMB
By chewing pollen the bee produces a glob of wax. Immediately after the placement, the saliva or water of the glob interacts in repelling the wax away from the glob's nucleus.
The wax takes on the shape produced from the three nuclei orbits of the water nucleus. What is called evaporation leaves an empty six pole or six sided wax structure.
THE SNOW FLAKE
An information cell (info cell) excreting from a life form of earth (AURA) interacts with the force centrifugal, and is taken aloft. In its mutation or evolution it becomes a size to interact with the force, gravity, (forces of equal evolution act upon forces of equal evolution). This determines the uniformity and elevation as these gas 'info cells' interact with the temperature cold producing water (cloud).
Each water droplet has is own info cell (nucleus) producing its own aura. In the case of cold temperature (freezing) the orbits of nuclei of the nucleus go into a chaotic state and instead of harmony or attraction, they are running into each other repelling. This causes the nucleus of the rain drop to literally unfold itself crystallizing as a unique SNOW FLAKE.
Amazing.
