ZD net published this article about how a team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin - Madison came up with 3D models to teach nanoscience since nanoscale objects are so tiny no one can see them.

"The goal of this program is to open science and technology careers to all students. "Greenberg hopes the models will encourage more blind and visually impaired students to pursue science, technology and engineering. Because current learning and research tools don't allow them to experience science on their own, many blind students don't consider science an attractive career choice.""
