This webinar recording, provided by Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), provides an introduction to North American Network of Science Labs Online (NANSLO), a remote science teaching lab. A remote science teaching lab is defined as having the following characteristics: "A physical...

The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) is an integrated partnership of thirteen user facilities, supported by NSF, providing unparalleled opportunities for nanoscience and nanotechnology research. The network provides extensive support in nanoscale fabrication, synthesis,...

This is the homepage of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is a federal R&D program established to coordinate the multi-agency efforts in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. The goals of the NNI are to: maintain a world-class...

This website from the National Science Foundation (NSF) describes discoveries in nanoscience. Topics include how bacteria get past our defenses, a safer nano cancer detector and brightest x-ray vision at the nano-scale.

Nature is a weekly international journal publishing peer-reviewed research in all fields of science and technology on the basis of its originality, importance, interdisciplinary interest, timeliness, accessibility, elegance and surprising conclusions. Nature also provides rapid, authoritative,...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a characterization room. Characterization, or "surface metrology" is "the measurement of small-scale features on surfaces." Instruments featured in the facility tour include tools to measure topology, thickness, and...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a guided tour and explanation regarding cleanroom entry. The presenter details the steps and procedures necessary for proper entry into a cleanroom laboratory, including registration and how to correctly put on the...

This video, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), offers a tour of a deposition area of a nanoscale facility. Deposition, or electron-beam physical vapor deposition, is a process that creates thin films or coatings; materials created through this process are often used in electronics. ...

This simulation, provided by the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility (NNF), describes the process of etching; the simulation shows how the process of etching in microfabrication removes layers of the surface being etched. This surface is called the wafer, and the parts of the surface which are not meant to...
