This image of “Nano-Explosions” won first prize in this year’s “Science As Art” competition. Fanny Beron from the École Polytechnique de Montréal used an electron scanning micrograph to record the explosion that happened when a CoFeB magnetic array was overloaded. The chaotic blasts are a “reminder that nanoscale research can have unpredicted consequences at a high level.” Beron has also been a star soccer goalie.[Science Art at io9]
It’s not often a scientific picture (besides space) makes me want to post it. But this was just cool. Its looks like lots of tiny nuclear explosions, and this is at the molecular level.
