| The Nanotechnology Experience |
 The world we know keeps getting smaller. Go to www.nanoexperience.org/ and discover the still developing science of nanotechnology. You will be making a journey into a world measured by the nanometre– 100,000
times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. Discover what nanotechnology can achieve today and its astonishing future potential – from the environment to health care, transport, computers and many other fields. |
| Chemistry and You |
 See for yourself how chemistry is present in nearly everything we see and everything we do. Take a tour and play the game.
The website is available in six languages (English, French, Dutch, German,
Italian and Spanish) at www.chemistryandyou.org.

| Elements of Life |
 At www.elements-of-life.org you will discover the important role chemistry plays in our daily lives. This website presents the science of chemistry and its myriad applications in a simple and easily understood manner. It includes information on milestones in chemistry, a puzzle game involving the periodic table and facts on the European chemical industry. |
| Scale of Things |
 Nowadays we hear more and more often of micrometres, nanometres, gigametres or even terametres, but just how small or big is that exactly?Go to www.cefic.org/metricscale/scale.htm and you will see what all these different measurements concretely represent. It may also be very difficult to grasp what ppm, ppb, ppt or ppq represent exactly when chemists speak about very low concentrations of any substance in water, air or soil. Click on www.cefic.org/metricscale/low_concentration.htm and you will be surprised to see how these notations can suddenly take on a new dimension. |
| The Big Names |
 Come and visit Cefic’s interactive and animated timeline of scientists that have marked the evolution of chemical sciences. From Democritus in 460 B.C. to Linus Pauling in the 1900s, all major contributors to chemistry are here. And don’t forget to take the quiz to test your knowledge.
