In this video from the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center, Mario Blanco explores fully synthetic oligonucleotides and how the use of nano-structured ceramic films enables the synthesis of hundreds of DNA genes in gram quantities overnight. Furthermore, Blanco describes...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), introduces participants to DNA microarrays. The module covers types of arrays, applications, interpretation, design, and fabrication. Included "activities provide the opportunity for students to gain a better...

Module Description: This module, from Support Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), provides "an overview of the DNA molecule, its role as genetic material, its molecular components and structure and DNA replication." The module is divided into the following five units: Knowledge Probe (KP or...

This resource, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, is a 9-page guide for a lab activity where students "test the antibacterial properties of their lab synthesized silver nanoparticles." During the lab, students...

This lab, from Pennsylvania State University, provides insight into the dry etch process. During the lab, students will gain experience with the Technics Micro-80 and the Plasma Therm 720 Reactive Ion Etch systems. The goal of the lesson is to determine "etch rates for photoresist, silicon nitride,...

This resource, provided by Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), is an 18-page guide for a lab on the construction of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). Upon completion of the lab, students will be able to: Understand the basic concepts of energy...

Module Description: This module was created by the Center for Nanotechnology Education (Nano-Link) and covers dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). "This device is essentially a photo-electrochemical cell, which means that a photo-induced chemical reaction causes electrons to travel from one material...

This Genesis learning science module, provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States, teaches students about the requirements and conditions of working in a cleanroom environment. Intended for middle school learners, grades 5-8, this module is broken up into six...
