A Visual Exploration of the Nanoscale.

The nanoscale world is the realm of the truly small. One nanometer is a billionth of a meter, about 100,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper.

This picture illustrates the ‘The Quantum apple’. The image is a metaphor for the seeming contradictions common in quantum physics:

1. Light is both a wave and a particle.
2. When light is moving, it is a wave.
3. When it hits something, it is a particle.
