An exciting learning-based racing game where the molecules take the driver’s seat! Get ready to pilot a molecule through a track made of gold atoms. Your mission? Safeguard your molecule from collisions as you race towards the finish line in record-breaking time.
Inspired by the real-life Nanocar Race, where cutting-edge worldwide research teams manipulate their own custom-designed molecules using a scanning tunneling microscope, this game captures the essence of the thrilling competition.
Prepare to navigate through a challenging racecourse, encountering clusters of gold atoms scattered across the track. Colliding with these obstacles will deplete your life meter. Just like in the real race, each molecule has unique characteristics, such as speed and resistance to collisions. The choice of the molecule is yours, select wisely!
Experience the fusion of entertainment and education as “Nanocar Racing” sparks curiosity about the fascinating world of Nanoscience. This game ignites a passion for scientific exploration among young players, fostering an interest in the underlying physical and chemical concepts that power the actual Nanocar Race.
Our game aims to ignite their curiosity and foster a deep interest in scientific concepts. Our goal is to create an engaging environment where children actively seek answers to some fundamental questions such as: What is a molecule? How small is a molecule? What is an atom? How can we move a single molecule? What is a scanning tunneling microscope?
Our game provides an interactive platform where kids can learn and develop their interest in science by playing and having a fun time. Our ultimate goal with this game is to ignite a passion for exploring science that will accompany the players throughout their lives.
