Picture this: Irish research at its finest

From human campaigns for social change to nano-science that can revolutionise modern technology, a series of new images showcases the breadth of publicly funded Irish research.

Among 10 images selected to represent the Irish Research Council’s work is one that could pass for a modernist artwork in a contemporary gallery.

But the blue and yellow shapes on a black background are, in fact, a representation of the imagery used by Sajad Alimohammadi in his work at Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University.
