The Nano-Revolution in Pictures

| 2 Comments

You may find it difficult to imagine, much less visualize, things at this scale of atoms. "Nano: The Next Dimension," is a 4-part Internet video (RealVideo or .AVI) sponsored by the European Commission that uses insightful commentary, images, animations, and other techniques to help us understand key concepts in nano-technology.

Good Lord, you mean Winds of Change.NET is giving thanks to the European Commission? Yes. You should, too, and here's why...

As Jeffrey Harrow's excellent newsletter notes:

"It really is worth watching this movie and gaining some visceral understanding and background of what all this "nano stuff" really means, because this is a major element for the NBIC [Ed.: the coming together of Nanotechnology, Biology & medicine, Information sciences, and Cognitive sciences] advancements of the 21st century. Becoming "nano-aware" today, is akin to becoming computer-savvy in the previous century -- even if it wasn't your specialty, such knowledge would dramatically help you to succeed in the coming world."
As Mr. Harrow is fond of saying: "don't blink!"

Thanks a lot for the link and comment.
Regards.

Really enjoyed these. I found http://www.nanomagazine.com/ recently and consider it a good source of useful info on nanotechnology.

Keep up the good work!

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
