I just learned that my pentafoil knot molecule image was named scientific image
of the year by the UK's national synchrotron science facility:

Also, the image is currently been presented during a lecture to a major
international conference in New Zealand. How cool!
Cheers,
Rob

Congratulations. That is something for both personal satisfaction and a
great addition to the CV.
Nice image too!
Is the molecular structure information in some standard form? Could you
do the same sort of work easily for Octane, C60, DNA, Haemaglobin?
