Summary

Nano: the Spectacular Science of the Very (Very) Small


The cutting-edge world of nanoscience leaps to life on boldly patterned pages in this STEM-ready gem. An acclaimed physicist and debut picture-book author introduces readers to the tiny building blocks that make up the world around us. Elegant, friendly text and stylish illustrations explain atoms, the elements, and other essential science concepts and reveal how very (very) small materials are manipulated to create self-washing windows; stronger, lighter airplanes; and other wonders of nanotechnology. Further explanation in the back matter gives more detail about various scientists' roles and the tools they use. Splashed with bright primary colors, this tribute to the tiny will inspire curious minds of every stripe.
