The cutting-edge world of nanoscience leaps to life on boldly
patterned pages in this STEM-ready gem.
An acclaimed physicist and debut picture-book author introduces readers
to the tiny building blocks that make up the world around us. Elegant,
friendly text and stylish illustrations explain atoms, the elements, and
other essential science concepts and reveal how very (very) small
materials are manipulated to create self-washing windows; stronger,
lighter airplanes; and other wonders of nanotechnology. Further
explanation in the back matter gives more detail about various
scientists' roles and the tools they use. Splashed with bright primary
colors, this tribute to the tiny will inspire curious minds of every
stripe.
