What if a boat could have sails made of solar panels? What if your car could be powered by hydrogen? Just how small is a nanoparticle, and why does it matter?

Nanoparticle size comparison
It is hard to grasp just how small a nanoparticle is. So imagine if a nanoparticle was the size of a football – this image shows how atoms, cells and organisms would compare at a more familiar scale.
Come along to explore these questions (and more) with these free hands-on demonstrations of the amazing applications of nanotechnology and materials science that are being developed right now!
