Nobel Prize Laureate Becomes Ambassador of „SimplyNano 1“

"SimplyNano 1" Experimental Kit

The new experimental kit „SimplyNano 1“ has been developed by the SimplyScience foundation in cooperation with The Innovation Society, St.Gallen. It contains ready-to-use learning and teaching materials, chemicals and laboratory materials for 8 exciting experiments from the world of nanotechnology. The topics nano dimension, reactivity of nano particles and nano surfaces are explained in an illustrative and simple manner. The nano kit yields at promoting enthusiasm and understanding of natural scientific and technical topics.

Nobel Prize Laureate Becomes Ambassador of the "SimplyNano 1" Experiment Kit

Since summer 2012 the Nobel prize laureate and physicist Heinrich Rohrer is the ambassador of the experiment kit "SimplyNano 1". Heinrich Rohrer has awarded the Nobel prize in 1986 together with Gerd Binnig for the development of the scanning force microscope. This invention facilitated the depiction of structures at the nanoscale.

Thus, the invention of the scanning force microscope founded the basis for modern nano research and the development of nanotechnology applications. The "SimplyNano 1" experimental kit contains a model of the scanning force microscope. This illustrates the functioning of the device in a comprehensive manner.
