America has many World Records. Here are a couple of questions for our Nanotechnology Community.
1) What D.C. Monument is the World’s tallest Obelisk?
2) Batavia, Illinois is the home to the World’s largest atom smasher. What is the name of the facility?
Today, we announce our Most Influential Nanotechnology Leaders List from 2011. I have enjoyed communicating with all these leaders in the Nanotechnology Community. The common thread amongst them is that they are all Nanotechnology Evangelists. Kudos to these leaders for their contributions to our Nanotechnology Community.
