It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomiclandscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular andatomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientistsand artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scalesusing chemical and physical processes). These structures arevisualized with powerful research tools like scanning electronmicroscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific imagesare captured and further processed by using different artistictechniques to convert them into artworks showcased for largeaudiences.To read more about NanoArt and Nanotechnology, visit:www.nanoart21.orgThe worldwide competition NanoArt 2008 is open to all artists 18 yearsand older.
