The DIY Nano app allows families to experience and learn about nanoscale science, engineering, and technology at home or on the go. The app was released thanks to a collaboration between Lawrence Hall of Science, Sciencenter, Emily Maletz Graphic Design and the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Network).
The DIY Nano app was supported by the National Science Foundation.

The app provides free, easy to use, hands-on activities at your fingertips. Each activity includes material lists, step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations. The activity materials are widely available and inexpensive. The app includes links to family friendly videos.

University Admissions and Talent in China: What Can Italy Learn?

Pubblicato il 08/08/2025

Every year, millions of Chinese students take the Gaokao, an extremely tough exam that can change the course of a life. But what can this system teach us? Between intense pressure and paths to excellence, it offers a chance to reflect on the idea of merit in Italy as well.

Each year, over 12 million Chinese students sit for the Gaokao (高考), one of the most difficult and decisive university entrance exams in the world. This three-day test includes Chinese, Mathematics, English, and one elective subject from either the sciences or humanities. The maximum score varies by province, typically between 750 and 900, with the admission threshold for top universities exceeding 680–700 points. On average, fewer than 2% of students manage to get into elite institutions such as Peking University or Tsinghua University.
