Module Description: This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and covers dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). "This device is essentially a photo-electrochemical cell, which means that a photo-induced chemical reaction causes electrons to travel from one material...

This web page, from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), includes materials for the undergraduate laboratory course titled Basic Nanotechnology Processes. The following seven units are included: An Introduction to Processing, An Introduction to Uses of...

Two sequencing techniques were developed independently in the 1970s. The method developed by Fred Sanger used chemically altered 'dideoxy' bases to terminate newly synthesized DNA fragments at specific bases (either A, C, T, or G). These fragments are then size-separated, and the DNA sequence can be...

ATETV continues to produce excellent web-based videos spotlighting advanced technical careers and educational programs. This video, part of the From High School to College series, shows how high school students can earn college credits and chart a seamless pathway to college through dual enrollment...
