The Strange World of the Very Small
The Atom Gallery is the gallery with the most number of interactive exhibits. It will contain the very elemental forces that are so familiar that we take them for granted – gravity and electromagnetism. It will present the counterintuitive quantum world which resembles nothing in the ordinary, everyday experience, yet serves as the basis for much of the technology we find so common and take for granted – computers, mobile phones, lasers, and many medical technologies.
Lightwriter Pendulux is a modified version of the lightwriter that features the chaotic motion of a levitating pendulum. The patterns and wacky movements created by magnetic suspension can be seen on the phosphorescent plate at the base of the exhibit.
Glow Discharge Tube demonstrates the different kinds of colored light produced by different kinds of pressure and gases.

Frequencies is an exhibit that demonstrates the frequencies produced by different sounds by making the waves visible. It will feature 7 columns of air of varying frequencies that play a different sound when touching its contact switch.
Whirlpool is an enthralling exhibition of gravity. By watching balls spiral around a transparent funnel, visitors will be able to see that the effects of gravity do not only apply to planets and stars, but little things as well.
The Kinetic Exhibit shows the relational forces exerted among objects in motion. Metallic and plastic orbs of the same size but varying masses will interact with the obstacles of this course.
Energy Forms shows the change of energy from mechanical to electrical to chemical energy. It will be operated by turning a big metal ring so that gears inside the shell will generate power and turn mist to droplets of water or frost.
Alpha, Beta, Gamma Radiation will feature these three forms of radiation where visitors can interact with different materials to see how they can block these types of radiation.
