These presentation slides, made available by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), provide information for educators on how to introduce nanotechnology to their programs. Nanotechnology is defined as "manipulating and characterizing (seeing, feeling) of matter at the sub-100...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, introduces students to "some of the challenges of making semiconductor chips and waveguides." These parts of electronic circuits will help students to understand the role of nanotechnology and nanofabrication processes...

This experiment, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers Shape Memory Alloys or Smart Materials. A Smart Material or Shape Memory Alloys belongs to a class of materials which displays the shape memory effect (SME); they possess the ability to radically change...

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, provides an overview of optics in solar cells for further discussion of nanotechnology and solar cells. During the video, Ozgur Cakmak from Pennsylvania State...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of solar ovens. In this lesson, students will learn how "thermal energy flows from the hot air to the cold water via conduction and will indicate that this would continue to happen until the water...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network, covers the general concepts of number size by introducing the size of the nanometer. From there, students discuss and visualize the concepts of millions, billions, and trillions in an effort to " lay the foundation for...

This webinar, provided by the Micro Nano Technology Education Center (MNT-EC), highlights the journey of a MEMS researcher, Nathan Jackson, assistant professor at the University of New Mexico.
