Advances in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology are revolutionizing medicine, computing, materials science, energy production, and manufacturing. Yet to the general public, these advances remain largely invisible and difficult to understand. The Museum of Science, the Exploratorium, and the Science Museum of Minnesota have joined together with a group of partners and advisors to develop a Nanoscale Informal Science Education (NISE) Network.
The NISE Network is designed to bring the education and research communities together in an effort to:
- create new methods and approaches to communicate the work of nanoscale scientists and engineers
- inform the public about the advances in the scientific research, and
- capture the imagination of youth who may choose careers in nanoscale science and engineering.

This five-year project is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
