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...

This short YouTube video, which runs for 2:25, was created to show the viewer how to make "hot ice." First, they produce the solution by supersaturating sodium acetate and water by heating it over then stove, then chilling the solution, and finally create "hot ice" by touching the solution to make...

Think small--really small. Some nanotechnology devices are as small as one nanometer, or 1/80,000th the width of a human hair. At these sizes, it is no wonder that scientists have seized upon nanotechnology for its potential in medical applications. In the not-too-distant future, as this slide show...

The InterNano website is an information resource for the nanomanufacturing community. The site includes the following sections: For Researchers, For Industry, Resources, News, About, Search, and Login. The Resources tab includes the following sections: Nanomanufacturing Directory, Expert Reviews,...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers "an introduction to the field of nanotechnology by discussing its real-world implications in light of current economic issues and conditions. The lesson is performed using the Creative Problem-Solving format and...

This page from Foothill College describes a course on nanoscience for those who need an introduction to the subject. This course is the first in a five course series that leads to a certificate in nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanomaterials engineering. Only a high school background is required...
