This webinar, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), was recorded on October 12, 2012 and discusses nanotechnology. The webinar covers nanotechnology applications, nanoelectronics, and complex nanomaterials; provides a perspective on the future of nanotechnology;...
This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, will "help students understand how chemical reactions are used to create the specific shapes on surfaces of crystalline materials, which make up functional components within electronics." The wet etching process is used to...
This video, provided by the University of Cambridge, was created for the NANOYOU Project and is intended as a resource for students, teachers, and anyone interested in a quick introduction to nanoscience. Researchers are shown exploring topics such as light at the nanoscale, hydrophilic surfaces,...
This learning module from the Northeast Advanced Technological Education Center (NEATEC) explores nanoscience. Educators can incorporate this module into an existing STEM class. Essential questions and objectives of the learning module are provided alongside New York state's common core learning...
This 4-page resource is provided by Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education (SHINE) and provides information about nanotechnology. This resource includes a brief description about nanotechnology, a short microscope image/macroscale picture activity, real-life examples, career...
This webpage is provided by Center for Responsible Nanotechnology and includes a brief introduction to nanotechnology. The following sections are included: The Meaning of Nanotechnology, Four Generations, Conflicting Definitions, General-Purpose Technology, Dual-use Technology, Exponential...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concepts of size and scale by focusing on the entire classroom and the size of the students in it. The activity focuses on measuring length as this is "the most common feature when presenting nanoscale...
This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the conceptualization of size for younger students. Based on the book What’s Smaller Than A Pygmy Shrew? by Robert E. Wells, students start by thinking about the size of the pygmy shrew and its functionality on a...
Learners read how nanotechnology is creating new jobs in emerging industries while making others obsolete. This colorful and animated activity also looks at the types of products being created through the use of technology and how educational institutions have responded.
This article, published in published originally in the International Journal of Materials and Structural Integrity, suggests that inexpensive wireless sensors based on nanotechnology be used to alert engineers to problematic cracks and damage to buildings, bridges, and other structures before they...
