The great scientific advances of the last century have made nanoscience a reality. Thanks to quantum mechanics, we now understand the properties and phenomena relating to matter at the nanoscale, and large microscopes manipulate atoms one by one. The possibilities opened up by this new field of science are endless and will have great repercussions in various sectors ranging from medicine to construction, generating important changes in our lifestyle.

Conscious of this reality, in 2016 the research centres CIC nanoGUNE and the< Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) launched the NANOKOMIK project for the creation of the first participative nanofiction comic. This is a science outreach initiative of a participatory, multidisciplinary and international nature that seeks to make society aware of the advances that are being made in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, in this way awakening the creativity of the younger generation.

The nanoKOMIK project is co-funded by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.
