Scientists Scan Striking Nanoscale Images

Posted by Zonk on from the small-sights-big-thrills dept.

BotnetZombie writes "Wired has up an article/gallery with very impressive images from the nanoworlds around us, and little stories for each picture. Besides giving an inspiring insight into the world of very little things, images of this kind can help scientists in many fields get a better handle on their subjects."

    These are beautiful images, but they are so alien that they could be complete CG fakes and we'd be none the wiser. Since nothing really sees anything else ast those scales and the images are all false-color nonsense, maybe the best way to experience objects at these scales is some kind of touch interface.

    And keep the monkey frog away from my bagels. Yuck.
