   Online Presentations | 12 Jan 2021 | Contributor(s):: Krystle Dunn, NEWT Center

   This whiteboard video is designed to engage K-12 students in high-level nanotechnology research. In space there is a unique challenge to provide and sustain resourcesIt would is not cost-effective or feasible to do transport needed resourcesWater is an important resource that...

3. Micelas (Micelles)

   Teaching Materials | 16 Jun 2020 | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Lisa Siedman, Jeanette Mowery, James J Marti, Kyle Forgette, Rodfal Alberto Rodriguez (editor), María Teresa Rivera (editor)

   Este módulo introduce los conceptos de micelas y la concentración crítica de micelas (CMC, por sus siglas en inglés). Las micelas tienen aplicaciones importantes en la biotecnología. En ocasiones, se utilizan para llevar fármacos (drogas) a tejidos y...

4. Superhidrofobicidad: Un balance Entre Fuerzas (Superhydrophobicity: A Balance Between Forces)

   Teaching Materials | 25 Apr 2020 | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Thomas Deits, Kristi Jean, Deb Newberry (editor), Rodfal A. Rodríguez (editor), María T. Rivera (editor)

   Este módulo demuestra y provee a los estudiantes un entendimiento de las fuerzas presentes en las interacciones hidrofóbicas e hidrofílicas. El balance entre las fuerzas cohesivas y adhesivas tiene como resultado una gota de agua casi esférica sobre una superficie,...

5. Superhydrophobicity: A Balance Between Forces

   Teaching Materials | 16 Apr 2020 | Contributor(s):: Nano-Link Center for Nanotechnology Education, Thomas Deits, Kristi Jean, Deb Newberry

   This module demonstrates and gives students an understanding of the forces behind hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. The balance between cohesive and adhesive forces results in an almost spherical drop of water standing on a surface, such as a lotus leaf. This effect is called...

6. How Dry am I? Exploring Biomimicry and Nanotechnology

   Teaching Materials | 01 Dec 2016 | Contributor(s):: Elizabeth Davenport, Nancy Healy, NNCI Nano

   Through a series of activities, students will explore superhydrophobic properties of materials. This inquiry based lesson leads them through activities that has them compare and contrast physical properties of superhydrophobic coated materials with uncoated materials. In the process they will...
