The University of Wisconsin-Madison Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) for Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces has launched an effort to make the nanoworld accessible and comprehensible to everyone. This booklet is an important part of the effort. LEGO bricks provide a...

Nanotechnology is an area of science and engineering that occurs at the atomic and molecular level. This is certainly a difficult concept to grasp. This website, presented by The National Infrastructure Network, highlights many critical concepts to understanding this smaller scale. By using a...

This presentation, published by the Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), took place at the Micro Nano Technology Education Special Interest Group (MNTeSIG) Live 2021 conference. In the presentation, Neda Habibi explores self-assembling molecules and how they create nanostructures....

This poster presentation, published by the Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), took place at the Micro Nano Technology Education Special Interest Group (MNTeSIG) Live 2021 conference. In the presentation, Wesley McIver outlines recommendations and operating conditions for micro...

This 3-page activity was created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education and covers forensic analysis using scanning electron microscopy. In this activity students will learn basic functions and capabilities of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), use a SEM to image ...

This article from SPIE describes how dielectric breakdown and wet etching may provide a method of fabricating 3D nano- and microscale channels inside transparent dielectric materials. The article includes several graphics which help to illustrate the concept.

Material from this website was produced as part of a 4-part ten hour course designed to introduce users to the basics of nanotechnology. This course includes four sections and additional Nanotechnology essays. Each section of the course may be downloaded as a PowerPoint or PDF, essays may be...

This short YouTube video, created as part of a school science project, demonstrates how to make a supersaturated solution using sodium acetate. It also illustrates an exothermic reaction or the heat of crystallization shown when the solution is touched.

This webinar is provided by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center) and is presented by Dr. Carmen L. Gomes, a mechanical engineer from Iowa State University. The presentation highlights the need for convergence between several domains, to address the...

This 11-page article, published by Nature Communications, discusses probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) that can improve computing power through energy scaling, size scaling, and complexity scaling. "In short, 2D materials facilitate aggressive size scaling, analog Gaussian synapses offer energy...
