Chicago, 2012-07-24 — /travelprnews.com/ — In pursuit of better batteries, cures for diseases, clean energy sources or a better understanding of the world around us, scientists often find unexpected beauty. Stunning visual examples of these occurrences are now on display for travelers to enjoy at O’Hare International Airport as part of Argonne National Laboratory’s annual “Art of Science” photo contest. The exhibit, located in the hallways connecting Terminals 2 and 3 adjacent to the Rotunda, will be on display through the end of 2012.
The photo contest represents the intersection of art and science and was created as a unique way for Argonne scientists and engineers to showcase their work and share their research with different audiences.
