This video, from the Rubbermaid company, demonstrates a plunger which never gets wet. The plunger uses a nanotech coating to stay clean and dry. The video demonstration will help to facilitate discussion about the everyday applications of nanotechnology as well as how this plunger works. Running...

This lesson, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, allows students a chance to experiment using the electro-plating process to produce nanowires. In addition to learning about the production of these components, students will gain a greater understanding of "...

This resource, provided by Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support Center (NACK Center), is a 12-page guide for a lab on the electrodeposition of nickel nanowires. Upon completion of the lab, students should be able to "understand the process of electroplating and its use at the...

This lab, presented by the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure, covers the concept of chemical reactions. Students will learn how "a flow of electrons allows cations in solution to revert to a solid state while plating an object" as well as "the process which allows the ions of the...

This 2-page lab guide, created by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, is for a laboratory activity that teaches students electron beam (e-beam) lithography. Upon completing the activity, "students will learn about the basics of...

This video, published by the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge Support (NACK) Center at Pennsylvania State University, provides a brief overview electron microscopy. During the video, Sebastien Maeder from Pennsylvania State University discusses the processes and tools associated with...
