This video, from Forsyth Technical Community College, is part of the 2021 SciTech Lecture Series. This series of lectures and interviews is held every year and covers an array of science and technology topics. This video provides an interview with Dr. Tandeka Boko, the program coordinator for the NC...

This collection includes promotional materials for the National Center for Autonomous Technologies (NCAT). Materials include supporting documents for events, newsletters, promotional flyers, press releases, and videos. The supporting documents were created for the From Ideas to Reality: Developing,...

This page from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) offers a set of tutorials, online tools, FAQs, and documentation to help users make full use of NCBI's bioinformatics tools. The tutorials, which target both new and veteran users, cover NCBI's BLAST and PSI-BLAST, the Entrez...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a characterization room. Characterization, or "surface metrology" is "the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces." Instruments featured in the facility tour include tools to measure topology, thickness, and...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a guided tour and explanation regarding cleanroom entry. The presenter details the steps and procedures necessary for proper entry into a cleanroom laboratory, including registration and how to correctly put on the...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a deposition area of a nanoscale facility. Deposition, or electron-beam physical vapor deposition, is a process that creates thin films or coatings; materials created through this process are often used in electronics. ...

This simulation, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), describes the process of etching; the simulation shows how the process of etching in microfabrication removes layers of the surface being etched. This surface is called the wafer, and the parts of the surface which are not meant to...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a photolithography room. Photolithography, also known as optical lithography or UV lithography is "a process used in microfabrication to pattern parts of a thin film or the bulk of a substrate," using "light to transfer...

This video, made available by the STEM Guitar Project, was recorded at the Guitar Build Institute held at Aptos Middle School in San Francisco, California in 2018. In the video Alex Moll demonstrates neck scraping and sharpening during electric guitar construction. The video runs 6:40 minutes in...

This video from CUNY Kingsborough Community College describes negative staining. The brief demonstration is described step by step and would be easy to replicate in a laboratory setting. Running time for the video is 1:32.
