Nanotechnology – technology on a very, very small scale - is one of the most promising new fields of science. It could revolutionize electronics, energy technologies and medicine, and it’s already been put to use in everyday products, including some sunscreens, socks and wrinkle-resistant pants. Learn more about nanotechnology and its implications at a free all-ages NanoDays event this Saturday, April 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Farmers Market, Santa Barbara and Cota streets in Santa Barbara. Activities include: - Cool science demonstrations
- Displays of products incorporating nanotechnology
- A chance to fold, and take home, your own buckyball
- Free temporary tattoos and stickers
- Opportunities to talk to experts about nanotechnology and its implications for society
The second annual NanoDays event in Santa Barbara is sponsored by the Center for Nanotechnology in Society and the California NanoSystems Institute at UC Santa Barbara. It’s part of a national week of education on nanoscale science and engineering (http://www.nisenet.org/nanodays). Click here for the full press release.
