1:45Now PlayingNikon Instruments has announced the winners of its 10th annual Small World in Motion Photomicrography Competition.
First place went to Mr. Kazi Rabbi and Dr. Xiao Yan, who captured a video of micro-droplets (made of 80% water and 20% ethanol) coalescing. Rabbi and Yan’s research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign focuses on creating surfaces that enhance the condensation and evaporation of liquid. One of the pair's goals is to create materials that could be used to engineer more energy efficient products.
“Think about anything from keeping the pipes from freezing in winter to making your air conditioning unit run more efficiently,” said Rabbi, “If we can develop surfaces and materials that better repel liquids, we can create appliances, power systems, and other technologies that require less energy to run. It could lead to a more sustainable future.”
Second place was awarded to Dr. Richard Kirby, a marine scientist who studies plankton and their environments. His video shows a phoronid larva of a marine horseshoe worm.
Third place went to a video of cytoplasmic streaming in onion cells.
