Review Quotes: It is hard to grasp what we cannot see, even harder when not even a microscope can see it. With unmatched clarity and arresting elegance, Frankel and Whitesides have designed a narrative and visual voyage into the nanouniverse, revealing its basic constructs without sacrificing its magic.--Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator of Architecture and Design, MoMA: The Museum of Modern Art
