Nanotechnology introduces a whole new area into our lives that goes beyond what we already know about and within the sciences. It shifts the paradigm further into the 21 st century with new technological endeavors. Nanotechnology has had an influence in the sciences and art. There is a device called Scanning Tunneling Microscope. The tip of the STM is rastered across the surface of atoms. The rastering process is then converted into a very simple image. STM enabled people to see positioning of atoms. STM was also able to bring two atoms very close together and could create a partial chemicals bond together and then drag it across a surface to create an image. A graduate student created the image of UCLA in carbon monoxide molecules using the STM process bonding atoms together. In this case it was a scientific advancement that produced art out of it.
