American Chemical Society announces winner of second nanotechnology video contest |
| (Nanowerk News) The American Chemical Society (ACS) has announced the winners of its second installment of the NanoTube video contest. |
| The theme of the recent contest was “How Will Nano Change the World?” Organized as an outgrowth of ACS’ peer-reviewed scientific publishing in the area of nano-scale science, the contest seeks creative videos that convey the applications of nanoscience to a broad audience. |
| ACS organizers said they wanted contestants to think BIG about nano and show how nanotechnology will address these important questions: |
|
|
| First place was awarded to Natalie Herring et al. from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte for their video "NanoGirls", which detailed how nano solar cells will generate clean energy. |
| The runner-up was Wilfredo Yave from GKSS-Forschungszentrum who submitted "Nano Story", which described how nanoscience will solve the problem of global warming. |
| The winners were determined by voting from the general public, and were awarded $500 and $300, respectively for their entries. |
