The 2008 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge has just concluded with some jolly astounding imagery in the win slots . This picture , dub “ Glass Forest , ” is a skim negatron micrograph of diatoms ( weird unicellular algae ) clinging to a maritime worm , and won the picture taking category : to my eye it looks half like a thenar tree and one-half like a Star Trek effect . The example category winner is even more amazing .
It ’s by Linda Nye from the Exploratorium Visualization Laboratory , and demonstrates the human bloodstream at a level that rapid climb from stemma - vessel spirit level all the way to oxygen atoms adhere to Hb , and everything in between . I encounter science pretty amazing full block : but this kind of competition really goes the extra mile to communicate how intricate the world / universe around us is . Check out the nexus to the National Science Foundation ( who ran the challenge ) to see more of the introduction … you’ll probably be amazed too . [ NSFviaNew Scientist ]
