Colouring at the Nanoscale

Research shows that colouring in can be an effective way to reduce anxiety, and perhaps even increase mindfulness.

But whether you enjoy it for its calming qualities, the feelings of nostalgia, or simply love the process of creating something colourful, it’s a pastime with something for everyone. 

Here at AIBN, we think it’s also a fun way to explore the wonders of the microscale and nanoscale worlds. So, grab your colouring pencils and markers and join us as we shrink down and take you on a remarkable journey. 

You’ll see the inner workings of animals, tiny brain organoids unique formations of metal-organic frameworks, an alien landscape, as well as stunning close up views of stem cells, nanomaterials and more. As you colour these in we hope you’ll see how detailed, fascinating and, indeed, beautiful the hidden world of very small things can be.
