Art, Science, or Both?
The cover of Europhysics Letters features a specially adapted figure out of one of Prof. Philippe Jacquod's recent publications on superconductivity [Europhys. Lett. 91, 67009 (2010)]. It was Grenoble's Dr. Robert Whitney - Jacquod's co-author on that manuscript - who made the figures for their article but artist Frederique Swist who turned it into a piece of art.
