This 5-page document, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Network (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, serves as a guide for a laboratory activity where students "cast thin films of the block copolymer formed by the sequential polymerization of styrene and...

This webpage, created by Chris Orfescu, uses art to explain the processes of nanotechnology.  Using microscopes to photograph subatomic particles, Orfescu creates nanolandscapes and nanosculptures by "manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes."  There...

This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of nanobacteria. In this lesson, students will "calculate surface area, draw graphs, and approximate the populations of bacteria and nanobes." This exercise will run more smoothly if students have...

This video from Pasadena City College briefly describes the NanoBio mAB, a gold and silver nanoparticle. This nanoparticle hybrid attached to breast cancer-specific antibodies counteracts the symbiotic relationship between bacteria and cancer cells. The video describes some of its uses in cancer and...

In this webinar, published by the National Center for Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge, Mrunalini Pattarkine from Harrisburg University discusses efforts to develop a trained workforce in nanobiotechnology. Pattarkine provides an overview of nanobiotechnology, career opportunities...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to the technologies, processes and methods used for the creation of nanocelluloses. During the learning activity students produce a nanofiber paper by creating and processing pulp...

This page from Foothill College describes the introductory Nanocharacterization course. "This course will provide an introduction to nanomaterials characterization tools, techniques, and best practice for a variety of industries, devices, and materials. Using scenario based curriculum and focus on...

Module Description: This module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), introduces students to nanoconrete, "the nanotechnologies, processes, and methods being tested by industry to prepare strong and lightweight cementitious products and systems." During the learning...

This nanoHub webpage provides a Nanocrystalline Solar Cells lab created by SHINE: Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education.
