Discovering Fun in Nanotechnology
May 2, 2012 By 1 Comment
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to check out a new exhibit at Port Discovery Children’s Museum. The “mini” exhibit, Nano Fabulous, was developed by the University of Maryland, College Park to help visitors “understand how scientists discover at the nanoscale and create devices from nano-sized building blocks.” So why is Nanotechnology important?
