Nano-car racing

Post by smithcorp »

Gentlemen, warm up your microscopes...

The NanoCar Race is an event in which molecular machines compete on a nano-sized racetrack.

These "NanoCars" or molecule-cars can have real wheels, an actual chassis...and are propelled by the energy of electric pulses! Nothing is visible to the naked eye, however a unique microscope located in Toulouse will make it possible to follow the race. A genuine scientific prowess and international human adventure, the race is a one-off event, and will be broadcast live on the web, as well as at the Quai des Savoirs, science center in Toulouse.
