The categories for entries included; Most Stunning, Most Unique Capability, and Most Whimsical. The winner for the Most Stunning image was submitted by SENIC site user Ms. Yamin Zhang, working at the Georgia Institute of Technology\u0026rsquo;s Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYamin Zhang is a 4th-year PhD student in \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.chbe.gatech.edu\/people\/nian-liu\u0022\u003EDr. Nian Liu\u0026#39;s\u003C\/a\u003E group in the School of Chemical \u0026amp; Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. She received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Technology in 2016 at the Tianjin University (TJU), and another B.S. in Finance in 2016 at the Nankai University. She won many of the top awards in TJU, including; National Scholarship, Honor Student Scholarship (TOP10\/29350), and Student Science Award (TOP10\/29350).

The diameter of the rod is around 100 nanometers. So, they are called nanorods. The material of these nanorods is zinc oxide. Zinc oxide nanorods grow on a flat nickel metal substrate naturally and nicely, which look like fireworks. In our research, zinc oxide nanorods are used as the anode material for zinc-based aqueous batteries, which are a safe alternative for current lithium ion batteries. With such well aligned structures, the morphology change of zinc oxide nanorods anode during battery cycling can be easily studied by imaging it, which can help explain capacity loss in batteries.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to recognition of her scientific photography skills on the national NNCI website, Ms. Zhang will receive funds to support travel to a professional conference.
