In celebration of National Nanotechnology Day and National Chemistry Week, three scientific organizations are holding a joint image contest. The National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), on behalf of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), the NSF-funded UC San Diego Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (UCSD MRSEC), and the American Chemical Society (ACS) are giving people the opportunity to explore and showcase the beauty of the nanoscale and learn the value of working at fundamental length scales.
ACS is sponsoring the prizes for NanoInFocus. The top three winning images will receive prizes of up to $1,000. The winning images may also be featured in the NNI Supplement to the President’s Budget, which will be sent to Congress, and in Chemical & Engineering News, a weekly news magazine published by ACS.
