Giants of the Infinitesimal

世纪正处于一场科学革命的开端，这场革命将像19世纪世纪的工业革命一样彻底改变世界。后者依赖于宏观物体的控制和工程，而新的革命将需要对世界的理解和控制。例如，控制纳米元件是清洁利用太阳能、开发智能材料和实现全新计算概念的核心。因此，纳米科学和纳米技术是流行语，在学术校园，因为他们是在工业研究实验室。然而，纳米科学和纳米技术的研究一直伴随着公众的关注，随之而来的是许多辩论。这场辩论是必要的，也是重要的，但它几乎淹没了探索、理解并最终控制世界的纯粹兴奋、冒险和创造力。该项目将创建一个展览和公共对话活动，将介绍一些最有趣和最重要的概念，这些概念将以一种高度可及和有吸引力的方式向公众推动世界。

The 21st century is at the beginning of a scientific revolution that will alter the world as radically as the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Whereas the latter rested on the control and engineering of macroscopic objects the new revolution will require the understanding and control of the nanoworld. Controlling nanocomponents lies at the heart of, for example, the clean harnessing of solar energy, the development of smart materials, and the realisation of entirely new concepts in computing. Thus, nanoscience and nanotechnology are buzzwords that are as rife on the academic campus as they are in industrial research laboratories. However, research in nanoscience and nanotechnology has been accompanied by public concerns and much debate has ensued. This debate is necessary and important but it has all but drowned out the sheer excitement, adventure and creativity of probing, understanding and, ultimately, controlling the nanoworld. This project will create an exhibition and public dialogue events that will introduce some of the most interesting and important concepts that drive the nanoworld to the public in a highly accessible and attractive way.
