Exploration Labs: Nanotechnology - Tiny Things Bring Big Change
Scientists have discovered that materials at the nanoscale, measured in billionths of a meter, behave differently than at the macroscale. These differences open the door to new applications in areas such as energy conservation and self-assembling materials. Through hands-on activities, students will learn how properties differ at the nanoscale and explore opportunities that nanotechnology presents.
