"Macro, Micro and Nano Memory" is a memory game that teaches visitors about the macroscale, microscale and nanoscale, the objects within those scales and the way we measure these objects.

Be a part of the buzz! See what’s new with nano. NanoBuzz is a web-based kiosk featuring exhibit-ready access to current nanoscale science, technology and engineering and emerging research in the news. Discuss issues, ask questions, take a poll, meet...

Mixing Molecules is a full-body immersive simulation demonstrating the collision of molecules at the nanoscale. The digital interface allows visitors to use their shadows to "push" animated molecules that are projected onto a screen in a darkened room. Visitors can...

"Exploring Size - StretchAbility" is a hands and feet-on game that explores the different sizes of things in the world. Visitors learn that a nanometer is a billionth of a meter.

"Macro, Micro and Nano Stretch-Ability" is a fun, hands AND feet on game which explores objects on several different scales. This activity teaches visitors about the macroscale, microscale and nanoscale, the objects within those scales and the way we measure...

At the Nanoscale is a static component that aims to show just how super small one billionth of a meter, or one nanometer, really is. A Billion Beads is an activity where visitors inspect tubes that hold quantities of one...

SeeingNano, a consortium funded by the European Union (EU) has developed two mobile phone applications: the SeeingNano app and the NanoScopic Memory app, and group activities: the Memory, the Profiler and the Origami. • SeeingNano App: The SeeingNano app uses...

Scanning electron microscope image of nanoscale structures on a Blue Morpho butterfly wing. • SIZE: Scale bar representes 200 nm • IMAGING TOOL: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Scanning electron microscope image of nanoscale structures on a Blue Morpho butterfly wing. • SIZE: Scale bar representes 1 µm • IMAGING TOOL: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)

Students will examine the order of size of objects from the nanoscale to macroscale to visualize exponents and decimals, make size comparisons of objects, and develop an understanding of how small a nanometer is in comparison to common objects. This...

This unit provides activities for students to learn about the metric system of measurement. A connection to the nanoscale is made by having students read the How Stuff Works article –"How Nanotechnology Works" and answer questions about the article. Further...

Selection of clean room videos providing an introduction to the special kinds of tools and equipment used to do nanoscale research.

Australian animated videos on nanoscience scale (Part 1) and properties (Part 2). Underpinning an understanding of nanotechnology are two foundational aspects. First appreciating the nanoscale - how might we imagine one billionth of a meter? And second exploring novel nano...

In this segment of Material Marvels, Dr. Ainissa Ramirez demonstrates how materials behave strangely when they are nanosize—about 1/100,000 the thickness of your hair.
