"Gear Up — Nano World" Outreach Programme

Nano is Here: "Gear Up - Nano World" Outreach Programme

You may be familiar with the terms nanocoatings or even nano flats. But have you ever heard of nanocars? The Science Promotion Unit has set up a new outreach vehicle “Gear Up” recently to introduce nanoscience through a travelling exhibition with the theme of “Nano World”. The exhibition features a fascinating comic story to allow you to explore the nano world with the main characters. You may also experience the amazing properties of nanomaterials with the interactive exhibits of the exhibition. Of course the “Gear Up” classic mini exhibition van should not be missed. While it may look tiny similar to a nanocar, it is equipped with everything you need for a nanotechnology product demonstration unit.

Welcome aboard “Gear Up” to venture into the fantastic Nano World!
