OBJECTIVES
BIG IDEA
Nanoscience is not one thing, it has many possible applications in many fields, like medicine, computing, materials, defense, environment, and consumer products.
LEARNING GOALS
1) To introduce the visitor to the field of nanoscale science and technology 2) To encourage the visitor to learn more about nanoscale science and technology.
NANO CONTENT MAP
Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.
Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.
Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.
