2015 Highly Commended / Â Chanmoliaeth Uchel 2015: 'Success in Failure', Thomas Dunlop (Department of Materials Engineering / Adran Peirianneg Defnyddiau)
"Lack of success in research can be demoralising but sometimes it can result in unforeseen success.
While looking into functional materials for the European Space Agency, a novel method was undertaken to produce a specific Ferrosilicon product from the gas phase.
The image shows an example of preferential crystalline growth in the gas phase, taken using a Scanning Electron Microscope. These highly organised crystals were formed with lengths of around 100 microns square."

"Mae diffyg llwyddiant mewn ymchwil yn gallu eich digalonni, ond weithiau gall arwain at lwyddiant annisgwyl.
Wrth ymchwilio i ddeunyddiau gweithredol ar gyfer yr Asiantaeth Ofod Ewropeaidd, defnyddiwyd dull newydd er mwyn creu cynnyrch Fferosilicon penodol o’r wedd nwy.
Crëwyd y ddelwedd hon gan ddefnyddio Microsgop Sganio Electron ac mae’n dangos enghraifft o dwf crisialaidd ffafriol yn ystod y wedd nwy. Ffurfiwyd y crisialau trefnus dros ben hyn tua 100 o ficronau sgwâr ar eu hyd."
