Module Description During this module, created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link), students learn about the optical properties of thin films. "Students will perform an experiment where they will apply a thin film to a piece of card stock paper. The students can then observe the...

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, introduces the characterization of nanoscale materials and structures. During the video, Dr. Stephan J. Fonash from Pennsylvania State University introduces...

This webinar, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, discusses transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and TEM education. During the webinar, James Smith from Princeton introduces TEM and discusses the components and...

This 1-page document, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, describes a demonstration that allows students to "oversee the use of a Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and to reinforce how electron microscopes...

This case study highlights the training that the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) provided for the Micro Nano Technology Education Center (MNT-EC). The training provided MNT-EC webinar presenters with information on accessibility best practices for presentations. The training intended to...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students how to measure the wavelength of a laser. Furthermore, students will calculate the uncertainty in their measurement as it is "critical to have accurate measurements on the nanoscale." A Teacher's...

This article is provided by PhysOrg and discusses light at the nanoscale. "Before nanotechnology can reach its full potential, researchers must understand the way things work on the nanoscale - which is often very different from the macroscopic world." This article provides information on a Stanford...

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, focuses on process variation and statistical process control. During the lecture, Lou Johnson from Pennsylvania State University discusses the differences between...

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, focuses on variation and process capability calculations. During the video, Lou Johnson from Pennsylvania State University discusses variation and its relationship to...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of wave properties. During this lab, students will learn how light waves interact with matter. The activity is "analogous to light traveling through optical media having different indices of refraction...
