CeNS researcher won a prize in “Magnetism as Art Showcase” !

Subir Roy from Dr. Angappane’s group won a prize in “Magnetism as Art Showcase” competition for the image of spherical magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and their self-assembly captured using FESEM. The image was selected for the top four finalists and awarded with USD 200 in the competition, hosted during Magnetism and Magnetic Materials (MMM 2020) Virtual Conference held during November 2-6, 2020. They titled the image as “Play with my magnetic nanoballs”. The image and the certificate received are shown below.
