The funding will enable the group to design and fabricate a 3,500-square-foot exhibition, "Too Small to See," that will take museum visitors on a journey through nanoscale science and engineering. Children and adults will be immersed in experiences, images and models representing the structures and processes of nano dimensions, no more than a millionth of a millimeter. (August 11, 2004)
