OBJECTIVES

BIG IDEA

The way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale

LEARNING GOALS

  • The way a material behaves on the macroscale is affected by its structure on the nanoscale

NANO CONTENT MAP

Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.

Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.
