The Greek Dwarf Will Go On...

Nanoscience is one of the most promising fields for the near future. Researchers expect an impact for different fields like chemistry, medicine and information technology. New synthetic materials for textiles, construction and engineering will be developed with astonishing properties. Tiny robots might be used as sensors within a human body and might even help surgeons in difficult operations. Maybe quantum or DNA computers will be developed with computing capacities of thousands of today's PCs on one single chip. It is difficult to predict which ways nanotechnology will go in the near future. However, it is beyond controversy that the results of nanoscience will have consequences for our daily life.

We Take Care of Nano-Education

We, the members of the nano-world team (left to right: Martin Guggisberg, Lars Zimmerli, Peter Fornaro, Benedikt Willi, Tibor Gyalog, Chritian Wattinger (not on the picture)) became active in the field of nano-education in 2000. Since then we developed a rich variaty of learning modules dealing with nanoscience and nanotechnology. We concentrate on activating the students following the paradigm of learning by doing. All projects are presented on our homepage: https://nano-world.org/
