T-Shirt Design Competition

2025 T-Shirt Design Winner

Caption: In the spirit of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks,"[1] this design was created using a combination of generative AI and human effort [2]. Included in the design one might see visual representations of a neural network, flow pattern, microfluidic channel, emulsions/colloids/encapsulations, turbulence, or other instances related to statistical and nonlinear physics; still, the design is intentionally abstract for one’s own interpretation.
