Yesterday, we awarded Julia Woskowski, this year’s image contest winner, her well-deserved prize: the winning picture on a large-format canvas.
Julia’s winning picture, “Volleyball”, took the hearts of our visitors by storm. Her fascinating picture shows spodumene, an important mineral for lithium extraction, under a scanning electron microscope. The image illustrates the aesthetic side of science and its practical significance: most of the leached minerals are left behind as residue. She is working on a project to find solutions to avoid landfill sites, such as using these residues in the cement industry, thereby making a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.

In the world of science, countless phenomena often remain invisible due to their existence beyond the limits of our visual perception. The scientific image competition
„Visualized Science: The World Beyond our Senses“
invites you to reveal the hidden wonders of science. Researchers from Martin-Luther-University, local research institutes, and scientific institutions are invited to make the aspects of our world invisible to the naked eye visible and to showcase the beauty and complexity of the micro- and macrocosm, which they study from day to day as part of their scientific endeavours.
