Replicating an elite athlete's performance at the Paris 2024 Olympics on a nanoscale? As small as the thickness of your hair? A group of enthusiastic PhD students from MESA+ will replicate the most beautiful finish images of Dutch top athletes on the nanoscale during the Olympic Games - under the name Nanolympics. And that makes for some great videos!
TOP PERFORMANCE ON THE NANOSCALE
In these stop-motion videos, you see a fragment of the Olympics divided into about one hundred frames. These hundred frames are not normal pictures but have been ‘printed’ on a 5 by 5-millimetre chip thanks to nanotechnology. So, the athlete in the video is a lot smaller than in real life: a whopping 100 micrometres in size. That's as small as the thickness of your hair or a sheet of paper!
In collaboration with LISA's video team (utwente.nl/video).
