From microscopic salt crystals to aerial views of invasive ferns, the winners of the 2022 Envisioning Research contest showcase the beauty of research – and help us understand just how strange and wonderful our world is.

The contest is a collaborative effort by NC State’s Office of Research and Innovation, the Graduate School, the NC State University Libraries, the Office of Undergraduate Research and University Communications and Marketing.
