Module Description: This module, from the Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides an introduction to BioMEMS including the emergence of BioMEMS into MEMS technologies and the major characteristics of BioMEMs. "This learning module explains what "BioMEMS" are and how they are used...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides "introductory material on various Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) that are being designed or currently being used for therapeutics." This module is divided into the following four units: Knowledge...

Working with a material 10 times lighter than steel -- but 250 times stronger -- would be a dream come true for any engineer. If this material also had amazing properties that made it highly conductive of heat and electricity, it would start to sound like something out of a science fiction novel....

This webinar, from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), describes how movies of molecules are captured using ultrafast X-rays at Arizona State University (ASU). The presentation begins with a brief history of the X-ray and an explanation of how X-rays...

This NanoLab webpage provides nanoscience images. Images include carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, nanowire, as well as nanotube fillings, coatings, and arrays.

When people think of career paths, nanotechnology is probably not on the forefront of their minds. Perhaps it should be. This website, created by The National Nanotechnology Institute Network, shows that nanotechnology will have “increasing impacts on many aspects of our daily lives, the...
