Visualization methods provide an important tool in materials science for the analysis and presentation of scientific work. Images can often convey information in a way that tables of data or equations cannot match. Occasionally, scientific images transcend their role as a medium for transmitting information and contain the aesthetic qualities that transform them into objects of beauty and art.
The galleries below represent some of the best entries from past meetings. Copyright for these images belongs to the Materials Research Society. To request permission to reuse the images, please contact us here.
