The exciting and tiny world of nano technology comes under the microscope at a series of events in Nottingham, under the auspices of our Science City status.

On May 16th, 17th and 18th, in the Old Market Square there will be a nanotechnology exhibition where you can find out how nanotechnology can revolutionise our everyday lives – and even how geckos stick to the ceiling by their adhesive, 'nano' feet. Find out who the nano man is, watch nano films, play the nano mission computer game and catch that molecule. Admission is free and it’s open to all.

The City Council is also hosting around 100 business and education international delegates at a Nano Expo at the East Midlands Conference Centre on May 16th, as part of the i-festival which has seen over 130 events taking place around the East Midlands.

Following the reception there is a free public lecture at Trent University where Dr Alan Smith will demonstrate why nanotechnology can impact on and touch our everyday lives.
