Our creative team worked closely with the Museum staff throughout the production timeline to complete a series of videos.
For the NanoNerds project, we provided pre and post-production, three cameras, all audio equipment and the necessary support staff to ensure an engaging final product and a smooth process.

The Museum of Science’s Megan Litwhiler tells the story of Jessica Winter’s invention of a powerful nanotech cancer diagnostic tool, her struggle to scale-up production with help from key allies, and her introduction to entrepreneurship through the National Science Foundation’s iCorps program.
When cancer strikes Jessica, at the age of 35, she redoubles her efforts to get the potentially life-saving product to market. In this telling, Megan Litwhiler provides additional hands-on insight into fundamentals of cancer biology, personalized medicine, quantum dots, and a new nano-manufacturing technique. (21 min)

Northeastern Professor Marilyn Minus wants to make the strongest fibers the world has ever known – at low cost – for light-weight bullet-proof armor, wide-body jets, sports gear, and more.
Here she tells how she found a way to spin such “super fibers” using a composite of gooey long-chain polymers blended with sturdy carbon nanotubes. (20 min.)

One of the world’s leading experts in 2D materials, MIT Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero tells the compelling tale of their Nobel Prize-winning discovery and of subsequent investigations into their extraordinary properties.
Using simple language, creative animation, and everyday analogies, Prof. J-H will have you understanding why graphene has set the physics world on fire in the last decade and how it mimics the giant atom-smasher at CERN as a miniature platform for studying ultrarelativistic physics.
With that under your belt, Prof. J-H ventures farther, illuminating the strange new world of 2D heterostructures and “twistronics,” and their potential applications in electronics, sensing, and engineering. (24 min)
