There is beauty in science: in curiosity, in effort, in thinking things through, in the illumination of new understanding. Sometimes beauty is also revealed in the process – to represent the natural world calls upon color, pattern, and symmetry.
To celebrate the beauty found in 50 years of science research, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is pleased to announce the winners of the NERSC 50th Anniversary Science as Art Contest, announced Tuesday, October 22 at the 50th anniversary edition of the NERSC User Group Annual Meeting. The winners are organized by category and format.
About NERSC and Berkeley Lab
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the mission computing facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the nation’s single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences.
Located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), NERSC serves 11,000 scientists at national laboratories and universities researching a wide range of problems in climate, fusion energy, materials sciences, physics, chemistry, computational biology, and other disciplines. An average of 2,000 peer-reviewed science results a year rely on NERSC resources and expertise, which has also supported the work of six Nobel prize-winning individuals and teams.
NERSC is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility.
