• This French language teaching resource explains the work of Professor László Forró of the École Polythechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland, who has developed the basis of a new device that not only uses significantly lower levels of radiation, but is also more efficient and cheaper to build.
• This resource also contains an interview with László. If you or your students have a question for him, you can submit it online – go to the article using the Futurum link below and scroll to the bottom of the page. László will reply!
• The activity sheet provides ‘talking points’ (based on Bloom’s Taxonomy) to prompt students to reflect on László’s research, and tasks them to think about just how small nano really is!
