This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of semiconductor manufacturing. Students will learn about selective layering which is used to "build up some layers of patterned material so that very interesting things start to happen, like using voltage...

This presentation, published by the Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), took place at the Micro Nano Technology Education Special Interest Group (MNTeSIG) Live 2021 conference. In the presentation, Auro Ashish Saha explores high performance heterogeneous computing for quantum computing...

This web page, from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), includes a collection of activities that was created for a nanotechnology camp for high school students. The following activities are included: Activity A: Welcome Activity B: Scavenger...

This web page, from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), includes downloads for an article about microencapsulation and a two part lab on silver nanoparticles. These resources "... introduce nanotechnology concepts and applications to many levels...",...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of measurement on the nanoscale. Through this exercise, students will learn about "state the size of a nanometer, convert between nanometers and other metric units of length, and give concrete examples of...

This demonstration, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, exposes students to the functionality of catalysts on a nanoscale. This lesson is "a great way to introduce or review reactants, catalysts, and adsorption, desorption, and diffusion. Use this demonstration after the...

This inquiry lesson teaches students about the properties of materials, specifically they will learn about superhydrophobic coated materials in contrast to uncoated materials. This contains a teacher's preparatory guide with lesson diagrams, pictures, material lists, and detailed procedures....

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the concept of relative size. Students will learn that "cells are quite big when compared to nanomaterials" and examine ways to keep nanoparticles from being polluted by larger objects, such as dust. A Teacher's...

Published by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, and created by Alonda Droege and the University of Washington, this 50-minute activity "explores how nanotechnology can be used to change the properties of a surface so that it either attracts or repels water." The Teachers' Guide PDF...

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...
