Description

Overview:

Scientists use physical and chemical properties to describe and classify matter. Things like color, shape or texture can tell us about the matter and how that matter behaves. Well, nanotechnology isn't just exciting because it's small but also because of the new properties that emerge. From airplanes to baseball bats, nanomaterials offer a variety of desirable properties such as strength and conductivity. Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes are wonder materials both made entirely from carbon atoms. Innovation Workshop explores their structure of matter and how engineers can build with these new materials.
