| Bio | Brought to you by the Lego Scanning Probe Microscope team, an EPICS project at Purdue University. The LSPM team's goal is to teach a wide audience the underlying principles driving the world-wide interest in nanotechnology by creating FLASH animations geared toward all ages and illustrating how a scanning probe microscope can be used to study objects at the nanometer scale. This animation is part of a museum exhibit developed for the Children's Museums. For more information about this exhibit please visit the Lego SPM website. |
