Nope. Getting a little closer. But it's not a picture of an element of anything...hint, hint.

It has to do with carbon and heat.

 

[Telamon]

can you give us another hint?

1. it has to do with carbon and heat
2. it's a microscopic image
3. there's one more word missing from what it is... "heated carbon_________"
4. the word starts with an "N" and ends with "tube"
5. so the word looks like this: "N_ _ _ tube" (3 missing letters)


I don't know of anymore hints I can give without giving it away.

yep! It's a heated carbon nanotube, and when it heats it expands and glows.
