Light is one of the most essential nature phenomena in both our daily and scientific life. The Nobel Prizes for Physics and Chemistry 2014 were awarded for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy and for the invention of efficient blue light-emitting diodes. Not only the Nobel committee but also YouTube plays an important role for distributing scientific knowledge to a broad audience. To connect researchers all over the globe, science.duel.life shares a variety of information of those technologies and media content.

The video contest is open from August for submissions and ends on December 31, 2015. The best YouTube videos will be chosen by their audience, including scientists as well as other interested people. For more information on the submission process visit the video contest website.
