Submissions open for SPMage09 Nanotechnology Image Contest |
|
(Nanowerk News) The invention of some simple but fascinating tools commonly referred to as Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) has led to the visualization and manipulation of matter at the atomic scale. Scanning Probe Microscopy is an outstanding development that has brought Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to the forefront of our research today. These tools have represented a revolution in the working methods of hundreds of research labs around the world in a large variety of fields such as Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Biology, and Engineering.

|
Two decades after the invention of Scanning Probe Microscopes, we are pleased to announce a second Nanoworld image prize - SPMage09 - to recognize the important and innovative contributions of scanning probe research.
|
 |
|
In summary, the SPMage09 competition has the aim to recognize the important contributions to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology that have been made by the many nano initiatives underway around the world. An international jury of prominent researchers in the field of SPM will judge the images submitted to the Image Prize competition.
|
|
The jury shall take into account both scientific and artistic merits.
|
|
The five images selected will receive the following monetary prizes:
|
|
5000 € (First Prize)
2500 € (Second Prize)
1250 € (Third Prize)
2 x 600€ (Fourth and Fifth prizes)
