In the Nanomedicine exhibition, four individual exhibit components highlight nanotechnology’s vast potential for diagnosing and treating disease, as well as its ability to help damaged tissue regrow. Test for thousands of diseases with a single nano-based chip, target tumor cells...

Visitors see how nanomaterials are able to form tiny structures called nanoscaffolds that help the body repair damaged muscle, bone, and nerve tissues. In the interactive, an injured nerve is unable to communicate messages. After injecting nanoparticles, visitors can watch...

This interactive component is about cutting-edge medical treatments that are being developed with nanotechnology. Gold Nanoshells, demonstrates how tiny nanoparticles of gold are being used to destroy cancerous tumors. Visitors inject gold nanoshell marbles into the bloodstream and watch as...

Be a part of the buzz! See what’s new with nano. NanoBuzz is a web-based kiosk featuring exhibit-ready access to current nanoscale science, technology and engineering and emerging research in the news. Discuss issues, ask questions, take a poll, meet...

Mixing Molecules is a full-body immersive simulation demonstrating the collision of molecules at the nanoscale. The digital interface allows visitors to use their shadows to "push" animated molecules that are projected onto a screen in a darkened room. Visitors can...

Sights Unseen features 14 beautiful images generated in the course of research by UW-Madison biologists, engineers and physical scientists. The exhibit seeks to expose the often-underappreciated creative and visual nature of the scientific enterprise. Images from the exhibit are available...

NANO, LACMA was developed by a team of scientists and artists at UCLA. It was a temporary exhibition that closed in 2004, and provided a greater understanding of how art, science, culture and technology influence each other. Additional resources are...

NanoAventura (NanoAdventure) is a traveling interactive exhibition about nanoscience and nanotechnology. It was specially designed for children and teenagers (9-14). NanoAventura explores the nanoscopic world in a playful fashion through images, music and video simulations. NanoAventura is the first exhibition...
