Think small. Think really, really small – smaller than anything you’ve seen through a magnifying glass or a microscope at school.
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!

Nanoscientists discover new things about substances that are roughly 1 to 100 nm in size.
Nanotechnology is the way these discoveries are put to work.
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.

NCW 2012 Community Event
Do More with Less!
Through the creative manipulation of substances at the nanoscale, chemists have made key discoveries that have improved our environment and health, enhanced energy efficiency, and the quality of materials.
Identify and take action on at least one way to "Do More with Less"
Examples include:
