A few months ago we pointed to an amazing animation of cellular molecular machines.
Today, hat tip to Joe Summerhays for a pointer to a TED Talk by David Bolinsky, who made the animation. David discusses the tradeoff between accuracy and clutter, along with the high-level goals of the project, and provides running comments on the video.
Joe comments, "Until we can give the masses a visual of what is happening on the nano level, ability to influence non-scientists on behalf of policy will be gaunt." The Nanofactory Animation is a step in that direction, as are the Nanomedicine Art Gallery and the Nanorex NanoEngineer-1 Gallery; many more steps will be needed.
