Vessels in the brain, a researcher in an underground cave and an experimental set-up for acoustic cloning: The Swiss National Science Foundation has chosen the best scientific photos and videos.
Researchers from Switzerland have submitted over 400 images for the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) competition. The jury selected 18 entries in four categories, as announced by the SNSF on Tuesday.
Martin Stollenwerk, research associate at the Swiss Institute of Art Research, won first prize in the "Research Object" category. This was for a photomontage that reveals overpainted murals, as the SNSF announced. In the "Video" category, a contribution by Christopher Hahne, postdoctoral researcher in medical imaging at the University of Bern, which simulates the vascular network in the brain, won first prize.
Tanguy Racine, a post-doctoral student in hydrogeology at the University of Neuchâtel, took first prize in the category "Framing, composition and lighting in perfection". He photographed a geologist mapping an underground cave. Jonas Müller, a doctoral student in geophysics at ETH Zurich, was awarded first prize in the "Places and Tools" category for a photograph of a complex experimental set-up for acoustic cloning.
The eighteen works will be exhibited at the Biel/Bienne Photo Days from May 3 to 26, 2024.
