Best Science Visualizations of the Year
Once a year scientists around the globe submit entries to the International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge; read on to see the top 12 entries from this year’s competition.
Sponsored by Science magazine and the National Science Foundation, the visualization challenge centers around creating illustrations, coloring photos, or otherwise creating visual media that enhances interest and understanding of the sciences. The illustration here, by Emiko Paul of Echo Medical Media, illustrates green anti-bodies attacking an alien-looking breast cancer cell.
