In honor of National Nanotechnology Day, October 9th, the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) is hosting their annual Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom image contest. Referencing Richard Feynman’s 1959 lecture, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” this image contest celebrates the beauty of the micro and nanoscale.

Images featured in this contest were produced at one of the 16 NNCI sites during the past year. Click on the categories to see all of the images and learn about the research. Voting will take place between October 5 and October 12, 2020.

The winning artists will receive funds to support travel to a professional conference.
