The DIY Nano app allows families to experience and learn about nanoscale science, engineering, and technology at home or on the go. The app was released thanks to a collaboration between Lawrence Hall of Science, Sciencenter, Emily Maletz Graphic Design and the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Network).
The DIY Nano app was supported by the National Science Foundation.

The app provides free, easy to use, hands-on activities at your fingertips. Each activity includes material lists, step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations. The activity materials are widely available and inexpensive. The app includes links to family friendly videos.

Carnivorous plants can be a source of inspiration for new materials with specific mechanical properties, according to researchers from the Centre for Complexity and Biosystems (CC&B) of the University of Milan. In a paper recently published on PNAS– and selected for the journal’s cover –they analysed the mechanics by which one of these plants, Drosera capensis, folds its leaves around insects trapped on their sticky surface in order to digest them.
