Our Art Prizes

Fluidic Evolution of Nano-ParticlesAs you may have seen announced on our main news site, NanoVic has awarded it’s prizes for art in nanotechnology.  The $2000 Prize for Scientists was awarded to Peter Liddicoat of the University of Sydney for his work titled ‘Fluidic Evolution of Nano-Particles’.  The image was obtained through Atom Probe Tomography which enables the decomposition of a speciment atom by atom, followed by its digital recreation.  Peter’s APT image is of an aerospace aluminium allot in concentration mode.  As a judge for the awards, I thought it looked visually stunning in the colours and form, and it’s hard to tell if it’s liquid or solid which adds to a questioning of nanotechnology.  Peter’s artwork was featured in The Advertiser in Adelaide.
