NNCI Competition: Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom 2025
March 19, 2026
In honor of National Nanotechnology Day, October 9th, the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) is hosting our annual Plenty of Beauty at the Bottom image contest. Referencing Richard Feynmanâs 1959 lecture, “Thereâs Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” this image contest celebrates the beauty of the micro and nanoscale. Images featured in this contest are produced at one of the 16 NNCI sites during the past two years. Click on the categories below to see all of the images and learn about the research. Links for voting are also available for each category. Voting will open on  September 23, 2025, and close on October 7, 2025. https://nnci.net/plenty-beauty-bottom
