Description

Teaching middle school or high school students? Use these resources to help kids understand what nanotechnology is and how it may impact their lives. You might start by watching Mark Ratner's seminar A Gentle Introduction to Nanotechnology and Nanoscience. Check out the various animations that we have to explain nanoscience concepts. Try running a simple tool online, such as CNTbands.

Looking for something that is not here? Use our form to make suggestions, and we'll ask our network of content developers to see if we can produce what you need.

Do you have your own nano teaching materials? Post them on the nanoHUB for all to see!

  1. NCLT Seminar Series

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Series | 23 Nov 2005

    National Center for Learning and Teaching in Nanoscale Science and Engineering. (NCLT). The mission of NCLT is to develop the next generation of leaders in NSE teaching and learning, with an emphasis on NSEE capacity building, providing a strong impact on national STEM education. The guiding...

  2. How Semiconductors and Transistors Work

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 20 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This animation shows how semiconductor crystals work and how they are used to make transistor switches.

  3. Molecular Beam Epitaxy

    4.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    Microelectronic devices are made by repeating two steps: 1) Depositing a thin uniform layer of material; 2) Then using a photographic process to pattern and remove unwanted areas of that layer.

  4. Scanning Electron Microscope

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This resource describes a scanning electron microscope (SEM). It includes detailed depictions of how the electron beam is focused and used to create hugely magnified images of experimental specimens.

  5. Scanning Probe Microscope Piezoelectric Crystals

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    In this resource we disassemble the piezoelectric assembly of a scanning probe microscope. At its core is a white cylinder of the piezoelectric material. If you look closely, it has a granular texture that reflects the fact that it is actually made up of many small crystals.

  6. Scanning Probe Microscope Operation

    5.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) include Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs or STEMs). They are the only instruments in widespread use that can actually "see" single atoms! You can skim this resource quickly to learn the general concepts of SPMs, or you can...

  7. Fabrication of a MOSFET within a Microprocessor

    4.5 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 16 Nov 2005 | Contributor(s):: John C. Bean

    This resource depicts the step-by-step process by which the transistors of an integrated circuit are made.

  8. CNT_bands

    4.5 out of 5 stars 

    Tools | 09 Sep 2005 | Contributor(s):: Jing Guo, Akira Matsudaira

    Computes E(k) and the density-of-states (DOS) vs. energy for a carbon nanotube

  9. NCN Overview

    0.0 out of 5 stars 

    Online Presentations | 06 Apr 2005 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    This presentation is an overview of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) presented at the first NCN Student Conference in April 2005. It is intended to give students an understanding of the NCN's vision and mission.

  10. Nano/Bio Connection

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 02 Apr 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Nanotechnology is not just a topic for physicists, chemists, and engineers. Laura explains the important role of biologists in this field, and shows how they may help provide clues to molecular assembly techniques.

  11. What is a Nanometer?

    4.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 02 Apr 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Join Laura and Martin on a wild ride through the milliworld and the microworld to reach the nanoworld. Along the way, they discover how small a nanometer truly is.

  12. Feasibility of Molecular Manufacturing

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 14 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Martin and Laura have an interesting debate about the feasibility of Molecular Manufacturing. Can molecular assemblers be developed to create new materials, new devices, and even macroscopic objects? Find out... If Martin ever wakes up!

  13. Nanomanufacturing: Top-Down and Bottom-Up

    2.5 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 14 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Martin presents an overview of nanomanufacturing techniques, explaining the difference between top-down and bottom-up approaches.

  14. Scanning Probe Microscopes

    3.0 out of 5 stars 

    Animations | 15 Mar 2005 | Contributor(s):: EPICS LSPM Team

    Laura explains how scanning probe microscopes can be used to create images of small devices, molecules, and even atoms! A large-scale version of the scanning probe microscope is built out of Legos to show the basic principles.
