important ?
the scale where atoms and molecules aggregate,where the properties of matter and materials emerge
nano technologies:
the nano worldin our lives

images ?
almost no images

almost no imagesfrom experiments
why ?
a ‘scientific revolution’ driven by imaging instruments
nickel
‘seeing’ atoms for the first timeby STM
