This scanning electron micrograph of continuous polyacrylonitrile nanofibers produced by electrospinning was produced by Dr. Yuris Dzenis and his team of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

I worked with Dr. Dzenis and his team to colorize and illustrate multiple images to be submitted to ACSNano for consideration for a cover. It was quite a process going through so many images, but we came up with a few options that looked really cool. They selected one of them to the right for the April 2013 issue.

Created with from a scanning electron micrograph and photoshop.

A similar illustration for the same technology was also featured in Materials 360.
