Wow! It has already been two weeks, yet it only has been two weeks. It seems as if these two weeks has been a blur, but at the same time, what happened just last week seems as if it were a month ago. It is amazing how many things we have experienced. Nanotechnology has ramifications so many different fields that it is impossible to fully experience it without learning about dozens of other fields at the same time.
When I first joined this program, I saw that is said science and art, which I thought was a bit weird, but I sounded very interesting. I considered myself a scientist but definitely not an artist Even as recently as a week ago, I wasn’t sure that science and art were coming together. However, I realize now that science and art aren’t as different after all. Both scientists and artists are both searching for the same thing, the beauty in the universe. Ever since the science and art fields broke apart a couple hundred years ago, they have been moving closer together and now, they are coming closer than ever with hundreds and thousands of collaborations between scientists and artists today.
The topics we covered during this program were mainly science-based, but also had major roles in the art field. The lab visits I enjoyed the most were the plasma research center and the anechoic chamber. The Ferrofluid and photolithography were amazing and reinforced the aspect that science and art are coming closer together.
