NanoArt Exhibition in New York

With pictures from NIM scientists

Nano images, taken directly from the labs of German research institutions, are on view at the German Center for Research and Innovation from April 13 until June 10, 2011.

The 50 images on display (12 by NIM) show the ways in which materials have completely different and widely variable properties on the nano scale, where one nanometer equals one billionth of a meter. A kaleidoscope of textures and colors, NanoArt New York brings order and chaos, mountains and valleys, the heavens and hedgehogs, all invisible to the naked eye to life - in liquid, solid, luminescent, multi-colored atom arrangements and patterns. The exhibition is organized by the German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI) New York and features a series of images provided by the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE), the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the University Alliance Metropolis Ruhr, the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS e.V.), and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
