Join Nanogirl performers Dr Michelle Dickinson (who plays Nanogirl), and Gareth Baston (who plays Nanogirl’s lab assistant, Boris) behind the scenes of a Nanogirl Live! science show, to get up close to this impressive science experiment making a steel drum implode!

Using the science of air pressure, Nanogirl and Boris can crush a steel barrel, making it implode by using heat and water to create an imbalance in air pressure.

You might have seen Nanogirl perform an imploding can experiment in other live science shows now see how the same science works on a much bigger scale!

So, with a little help from our 2019 tour sponsors Vodafone New Zealand, University of Auckland Faculty of Engineering and The MacDiarmid Institute, Nanogirl and Boris are here to show you the science of how it works!
