Winner Best short film at the Scinema Science film festival 2010. Where and what is nano? How will it shape our future? Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. The strange world of nanoscience - it can take you into atoms and beyond the stars.

Peter sees green nanotechnology as the engine driving local innovation. As an Ideapreneur, he helps businesses like the design & architecture sector address the impact their creations and operations have on living standards and our environment. He shares 10 nifty things we can do with nanotechnology - from selling sand to the Arabs to waterproofing your dog. AboutTEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This video won the 2011 Webby Award for Animation in the Online Film & Video Category. Produced by: Science Alberta Foundation Artist: Daniel Gies danielgies.carbonmade.com Nano may mean small, very small, but when it comes to making your body work it is big, very big. If your fingernail is about one millimeter thick, and a nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, you can imagine that there are a lot of nanomaterials making up that small space.
