Nanotechnology

Walking down into the nanotechnology room, we had no idea how interactive and encompassing it would be. It was absolutely amazing! It covered everything from research to manufacturing, and there was a section on carbon nanotubes. Having done research with carbon nanotubes as transistors this past year, it was fascinating to see them along with their manufacturing process as we made nanotubes at Platteville was different than the way they did. Overall, the exhibit had many interactive features such as: touch screen glass displays, booths to sit and listen in multiple languages about the history, and buttons to automate the machines! I definitely could have spent much more time in this exhibit!
