NanoDays

You might be thinking: So what is all this nano talk anyway? To really understand the nanoscale, be prepared to think small. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. That means that the size of a nanometer compared to a meter is like the size of a marble compared to the earth!

To get you thinking small, DFTV has created fun new Game called Nanobots. Find out how forces work in the nanoworld! Design a Nanrobot and choose a challenging course. Or create a course to upload for other gamers to play.

Then take a minute to tell us the smallest thing you can think of on our new Nano Small Talk Message Board.

For some Hands-on Science Fun, attend a NanoDays event near you. More than 100 Science Centers, Museums, and Universities across the country will be hosting events between March 29 and April 6, 2008. Check out our Find a Science Center feature to locate a museum near you.
