THE EXIBITS

Ready for a journey into the nanoworld? Films, multimedia and hands-on exhibits explain the nature of these nanotechnologies, which let us manipulate atoms to manufacture objects and materials with astonishing properties. They also offer food for thought about the ethical issues raised by the use of nanotechnologies.
