An Introduction to Nanoparticles and Nanostructures

This video, provided by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, introduces nanoparticles and nanostructures. During the video, Sebastien Maeder from Pennsylvania State University defines nanoparticles and discusses their physical properties (crystal structure, melting point, etc.), optical properties (surface plasmons and quantum confinement effects), and electrical properties. Also covered are health concerns related to nanoparticles.

The video runs 55:17 minutes in length. Also included are the presentation slides and an audio version of the lecture.
