In 2012, Princeton University’s
NSF-funded research center Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM) and its partners the
Princeton Public Library and the New
Jersey State Museum were awarded
the NSF
funded NISEnet Nano! Mini-Exhibit. Nano! is a new engaging exhibition for family
audiences about nanoscale science, technology, and engineering. The Nano! Mini-Exhibit is open to the public
at the Princeton Public Library for one year. 1000’s have already enjoyed the exhibit. The exhibit allows the public to
imagine and discover the nanoscale world and hoe nanomaterials improve their lives. This 400ft2 exhibition includes hands-on, interactive
exhibits that invite exploration of nano. Interactive panels provide information on tiny
solutions for big problems
and exciting technologies
inspired by nature.
Scientists and
engineers from PCCM will lead activities throughout
the
year using
the
exhibit.
