This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of nanomotors. Students will learn about nanometers through hands-on experiments which "explore nanoscale propulsion principles and guide students in recognizing and analyzing differences between macroscale...

This video, made available by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), provides an overview of safety measures for a nanoparticle synthesis laboratory. In the video students are shown demonstrating safety measures in a nanoscience laboratory for the following topics: planning, storage...

This video adapted from North Dakota State College of Science explores the range of science and technology careers that work with matter at an incredibly small scale: the nanoscale. A college instructor explains that almost anyone interested in mathematics or science, whether it’s physics, biology,...

This learning object, created by Barbara Liang of the Wisconsin Online Resource Center, discusses using nanosolutions to purifying water. There are several flash animations on different processes for obtaining this goal.

Teachers' Domain presents this video as part of a series on advanced technological education. This segment shows what goes on in a nanofabrication lab, as well as the basics of the nanotechnology industry. The top-down fabrication process of photolithography is shown, as well as the protective...

This video by Joan Johnson and Josh Rosen discusses the “nanotech boom in Berkeley, where researchers are working to unlock the potential of nanoscience.” The video runs 10:29 minutes in length. 

This webinar, from the Micro Nano Technology Education Center (MNT-EC), provides information about the AIM-TEC grant. The webinar is presented by Neda Habibi, principal investigator of the Alamo Institute for Materials (micro, bio, nano) - Technology (AIM-TEC) and Co-PI of MNT-EC. During the...

This page provides animated excerpts from Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Richard Feynman's presentation to the American Physical Society Meeting on December 29, 1959 that proposes "...maneuvering things atom by atom." The talk is considered by some to be the birth of nanotechology.

This learning object offers a brief summary of the impact of nanotechnology on automobile tires. Learners look at the future of cars, especially the safety and future of automobile tires.
