Science as Art
Visualization methods provide an important tool in materials science for the analysis and presentation of scientific work. Images can often convey information in a way that tables of data or equations cannot match. Occasionally, scientific images transcend their role as a medium for transmitting information, and contain the aesthetic qualities that transform them into objects of beauty and art.
As a special feature of recent MRS Meetings, we have offered the popular Science as Art competitions, with entry open to all registered meeting attendees. The galleries below represent some of the best entries from past meetings.
Entries are being sought through February 15, 2012 for the 2012 MRS Spring Meeting Science as Art Competition.
