During this webinar, Joshua Smith and Stacey Gifford from IBM’s Nanobiotechnology Program provide an overview of the latest research on the relevant biology found in fluids from liquid biopsies. In addition, Smith and Gifford discuss opportunities in microfluidics for disruptive technology...

This short YouTube video, which runs for 2:25, was created to show the viewer how to make "hot ice." First, they produce the solution by supersaturating sodium acetate and water by heating it over then stove, then chilling the solution, and finally create "hot ice" by touching the solution to make...

Think small--really small. Some nanotechnology devices are as small as one nanometer, or 1/80,000th the width of a human hair. At these sizes, it is no wonder that scientists have seized upon nanotechnology for its potential in medical applications. In the not-too-distant future, as this slide show...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers "an introduction to the field of nanotechnology by discussing its real-world implications in light of current economic issues and conditions. The lesson is performed using the Creative Problem-Solving format and...

This page from Foothill College describes a course on nanoscience for those who need an introduction to the subject. This course is the first in a five course series that leads to a certificate in nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomaterials engineering. Only a high school background is required...

Module Description: This learning module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), serves as an introduction to statistical process control (SPC). "SPC is a set of tools used for continuous improvement and the assurance of quality in an active manufacturing process. This learning...

This webinar, provided by the Micro Nano Technology Education Center (MNT-EC), explores micro nano technology education. In the webinar, Tanya Faltens discusses the nanoHUB simulation environment and demonstrates how educators can use and navigate nanoHUB. First, Faltens describes nanoHUB, which is...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, introduces students to the difficulty to of measuring at the nanoscale. Accuracy and precision are the most important principles or measuring at such a small scale, and with the growing demand for nanotechnology careers, an...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of material properties. Students will learn about microfluidics and how "with one drop of liquid sample, small devices and channels can be used with nanoparticles for sensitive detection of chemicals." A...

This article, written by researchers from the University of Hull in the United Kingdom, details the efforts these individuals to engage secondary students in nanotechnology fields. As such, researchers conducted a lab-on-a-chip workshop for students that included hands-on activities that "explained...
