Awards

Dec. 2006- L'OREAL Art and Science of Color International Prize: Silver Prize for the project “Noble metals nanoparticles and a ray of laser light unlock the secrets of artists' red colorants.” Richard P. Van Duyne (NU), Francesca Casadio (AIC), Alyson V. Whitney (NU) investigators.

The L’Oréal Art and Science of Color Prize is awarded to people who have made distinguished contributions to the creative meeting of science and art through color.  In 1997, the L’Oréal Art and Science Foundation instituted the prize funded by the L’Oréal Group, the largest cosmetic manufacturer in the world with its headquarters in France. Since 1999, the prize has taken an international dimension, with a diverse jury of artists and scientists, including former Nobel Prize winners, judging entries. Our project was selected from 226 entries from 37 countries, and the award ceremony was held in December in Tokyo with Casadio and Whitney accepting the prize.
