Nano is coming to Science Gallery. Nanoweek was launched last week with an ice cream party with a difference. The Nano Ice Cream van is dishing out ice cream frozen with liquid nitrogen at -196degrees producing an incredibly smooth nanoparticle ice cream.

This is just one of the activities that will take place in Science Gallery during Nanoweek - Nanoweek runs between November 30-December 4.
