Chemical engineering associate professor Kaushal Rege’s daughter Anjani, 5, learns how to operate a scanning electron microscope to view objects at up to 100,000x magnification. Engineers use nanoscale science and technology to make use of materials 1 to 100 nanometers in range — 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair! Photographer: Jessica Hochreiter/ASU.

Night of the Open Door showcased many student teams, including the Society of Automotive Engineers — one of more than 60 Fulton Schools student organizations — and their formula one car. Photographer: Jessica Hochreiter/ASU.
