Scientific Art Winner:
Aleksander Aleman - Aluminum + Spooky BNNTs = A Hauntingly Brilliant Combo! The scanning electron microscope (SEM) image reveals the stress bridging effect of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT) in the aluminum (Al) matrix. Al-BNNT composite was deposited by wire-arc direct energy deposition (WDED) technique using an inhouse built electrode. Adobe Photoshop was used to color and distinguish the BNNTs in the composite.
