This exercise, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of waveguides. Students will explore the "angle of incidence, angle of refraction, and how light is transmitted through a waveguide for communication." Students have the option to do this lesson as...

Module Description: This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and serves as an introduction to crystal structures and properties. During this module students will learn about the atomic nature of solid materials, the structure of crystaline materials, crystal...

This video from the Micro Nano Technology Education Center (MNT-EC) is part of a series of seminars on micro nano technologies and issues in the field. In this video, Pete Raynor and Jim Marti talk about the nano health and safety workshop that took place at the University of Minnesota Public Health...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, teaches students about gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Students will "learn the potential disease detection uses of GNPs, conduct research on modifying GNPs to be specific to other molecules, and complete a simulation using...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, introduces the social and ethical issues of nanotechnology. In this activity, students will explore "possible social issues through case studies using popular films, books, and news stories. The lesson is intended to...
