I’ve been helping NPL, the UK’s National Physical Laboratory , with their NanoLands project in Second Life. It’s all about nanoscience and nanotechnology. They’ve just announced a new program called The NanoLands Challenge: if you can think of an interesting exhibit about nanoscience or nanotechnology, then let NPL know and they might award you $400 or $700 USD to get it built. For more information, visit the official website.
