About the Visualization Lab

The nanoscale world is so small that we can't directly see or experience it. At one hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a human hair, nanoscale particles are governed by unfamiliar physical forces. How do we visualize this world and the forces that dominate it? The Exploratorium's Visualization Laboratory is exploring this question through research and development of different types of visualizations. Our goal is to create and study effective and innovative visualization techniques for understanding and experiencing the nanoscale.
