Too Small to See

kids building molecules

"Too Small to See" is a 5,000-square-foot interactive exhibit that zooms into the world of nanotechnology, providing a fun, interactive experience for visitors of all ages. It was designed and built to surround visitors with things at the atomic scale and expose them to some important concepts in nanotechnology. The exhibit components are interactive and give visitors a chance to experience technology at the nanometer scale and learn how their lives will be affected by the products of nanotechnology. It has something for everyone, whether it is zooming in on the latest in computer technology, building a molecule, or moving an atom. "Too Small to See" opened at Innovations at Epcot® in November 2006, and will travel around the United States hosted by a variety of science museums and other venues.

Too Small to See was developed by Cornell University and is supported by the National Science Foundation.
