— <\/span>Nanoparticles for colouring<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Wondering how to keep yourself amused this weekend, or worried how to keep the kids amused on a rainy day? May I suggest this new colouring-in book<\/a> full of images from the nanoscale world. If you’ve ever felt that that false colour electron microscope images could really be more eye catching this is the book for you.<\/p>

Founded perhaps for less suspicious reasons than Terry the Fracosauraus<\/a>‘ colouring-in book, each image comes with scale bars and a short explanatory paragraph explaining what exactly it is you’re colouring in. The explanations are aimed at a US fifth grader, so about 10 years old, and also asks questions to be filled in along the way.<\/p>

My only concern, and maybe that’s because I’m a fun killing, literal scientist type, is that rather than use real photographs the book uses line-drawn approximations. That makes sense for DNA perhaps, but wobbly fractals? I think if I were going to lose myself in the crazy complexity I’d want it to be accurate.<\/p>

However, I applaud the idea of communicating nanoscience early – get them hooked young, I say. And if you’re into stretching yourself, or introducing languages early to your children, the pages are also available in French<\/a>. Amusez-vous bien!<\/p>
