Nanoscale image of foam in bloom

The National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) announced the winners of the 2025 image contest. The contest, Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom, celebrates the beauty of the micro and nanoscale.

Sites from across the NNCI contributed stunning, unique, and whimsical images of the micro and nanoscale for the 2025 image contest. The public cast over 2,100 votes to determine this year’s winners. First place winning artists will receive a hoodie with their printed image, and their sites receive a framed print of their winning image. Honorable mentions will have their sites receive a framed print of their image.

View the winners on the NNCI website.
