| The second part of the exhibition proposes to experience science in the making . A flash-back on the history of sciences shows that man has been interested in the infinitely small for a very long time. Nevertheless, observation and handling at this scale are very recent. As a matter of fact, nanosciences and nanotechnologies are just starting to exit the exclusive area of research to enter new socio-economic areas. The visitor is invited to discover tools developed to handle atoms. The impacts on research (convergence of scientific fields) , the processes and fabrication potentials at this scale, as well as its limits are exposed. | In the first part of this
area, the different tools and instruments developed to study the
matter at this scale are exhibited : scanning tunnelling microscope,
atomic force microscope as well as present fabrication methods of
nanometric objects. In the second part, the visitor discovers how
researchers from different fields work at the same scale levels to
elaborate a shared research equipment. Examples are presented, as
well as the main limits that researchers are facing.
