| How do you take pictures of objects that are too small to photograph? We'll talk with Felice Frankel and George Whitesides, authors of an image-heavy book about nanoscience. While Whitesides conducts research into the limits of materials, Frankel studies how best to portray science in photos. We'll talk about how gorgeous images of objects such as a water droplet or a microchip can convey scientific meaning and help people better understand their nature. See more of the images from the book here. |
