Exploring the Nanoworld

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (UW MRSEC) Interdisciplinary Education Group uses examples of nanotechnology and advanced materials to explore science and engineering concepts at the college level, and brings the "wow" and potential of nanotechnology and advanced materials to the public.

We work to enhance public appreciation of science and engineering through a central theme of "Exploring the Nanoworld," using web dissemination to novice learners, presentations in general public venues, and contributions to popular publications and media.
