Playing with LEGOs at nanoscale: How nature builds things

Nanotechnology

Imagine that you build structure by throwing LEGO blocks into a bag and shaking it until it all assembles. This is exactly how nature builds things, and it is a process we try to imitate in bionanotechnology, where we construct nanoscale structures and devices. We will use Augmented Reality to show you how we build things at nanoscale.
