This 2-page Nanoscale Electrodeposition Guide is part of a series of resources collected by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility to teach students about electron-beam vapor depositions. This guide is intended to help instructors implement that Electrodeposition Activity in their classrooms. This activity...

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.

In this lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, students will "explore how energy exchanges lead to solid-state phase changes at the macroscale and explore the applications of this nanotechnology." Additionally, students will have the opportunity to examine "various...

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 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.

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers scanning probe microscopes. A scanning probe microscope traces "surface features by movement of a very fine pointed tip mounted on a flexible arm across a surface." Students will experiment with using their index...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to the "... technologies that use forces and interactions at the nanoscale to treat water." In this module, students will learn about how the dominant forces that affect...
