Le nanotecnologie alla conquista del mondo
Esplorare con una potente lente di ingrandimento ciò che ci circonda porta alla luce milioni di strutture impensabili che hanno dimensioni millimetriche, micrometriche e nanometriche.
Il laboratorio introduce i partecipanti alle nanotecnologie, e quindi alle nanostrutture, che possono trovare un’applicazione nella medicina personalizzata, con particolare riferimento alle malattie vascolari.
