  3. National Chemistry Week 2012Nanotechnology: The Smallest BIG Idea in Science! Environment, Energy, Materials, and Health

  4. National Chemistry WeekFourth Week in October 2009: Chemistry – It’s Elemental! 2010: Behind the Scenes with Chemistry 2011: Chemistry – Our Health, Our Future 2012: Nanotechnology – The Smallest BIG Idea in Science! October 21 – 27. This year we we have an exciting partnership with: The Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net) www.nisenet.org The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) http://www.nnin.org

  5. IYC Themes Extended into 2012 www.acs.org/iyc2011

  6. Think small. Think really, really small – smaller than anything you’ve seen through a magnifying glass or a microscope at school. Nanowire resting on a human hair How small is a nanometer? There are one billion (1,000,000,000) nanometers (nm for short) in one meter. Dr. Shaquille O’Neal, scholar and famous athlete, is 2,160,000,000 nm tall!

  7. Nanoscientists discover new things about substances that are roughly 1 to 100 nm in size. The gecko's amazing ability to cling to vertical or inverted surfaces is due to the interaction between nanoscale structures on its feet and tiny crevices on the wall or ceiling. A 14 nm diameter quantum corral made of iron atoms on a copper surface. Nanotechnology is the way these discoveries are put to work.
