Nanotechnology + Art
As our current society evolves, not only does the scale of our research and inventions grow but also decreases. Nanotechnology is the science at nanoscale and can change physical and chemical properties of elements (“What Is Nanotechnology?”). As the scientist dive into the nano world, they can create tiny worlds. An example of the artistic creation is by Professor Alex Zettl, who created the first world’s smallest synthetic motor, and James Tour, who made the first nano car without a motor shown below (“World’s Smallest ‘Electric Car’ Is Only the Size of a Molecule”). The total size of the car is only one molecule and is invisible to the human eye. As Professor Vesna and Professor Gimzewski mentioned during lecture, working at such a small-scale cause distortion in the common relationships of our world. Such incredible feat is combination of art and nanotechnology. Nano Car Of One Molecule Size Additionally, art allows the audience to better understand nanote...
