Today I had the final check for NACK’s Remote Access to Nano Characterization Tools webinar. This is a free webinar that starts at 1 PM ET.
The NACK Center has several nano-characterization tools that can be controlled remotely by users around the world. By sending us your samples, or using standard NACK samples, you can have […]
One thing I dislike about my solar panels is the amount of dust that can collect on them. Especially after 90 days of no rain at my house. Dust is going to accumulate no matter where you live - but in Arizona, where there can be no long stretches of rain, the dust build up […]
How can a butterfly help us understand RFID technology? Help create anti-counterfitting measures? What can we learn? Apparently, we can learn a lot from butterfly wings. In the article Butterfly reasearch to improve RFID technology, the butterly wing has many secrets.
To get a close look at a butterfly wings, the Nanotechnology Applications and Career Knowledge […]
This month we are having a lot of webinars. If you are interested in Nanotechnology, this Friday NetWorks is hosting the NACK Nanotechnology in the Classroom Labratory. Next Wednesday (11/18), the ATE Center, Evalua|t|e is hosting Evaluate Basics for New ATE Grantees. And finally, eSyst a Systems View of Electronics will have its third in […]
Continuing with our space theme this week, right now the Space Elevator Games, sponsored by the Spaceward Foundation, is going on to see which company can win the offered prizes. For those who never thought of a space elevator, I am sure you question is, “can scientist make a space eleavator?”
This week in the Mojave Desert, three […]
Have you ever wanted to lounge around in space for a few days? Train on a tropical island before take off? If so, the opportunites are starting to arise. The Galactic Suite Space Resort is schedule to open 2012.
The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost 3 million euro ($4.4 […]
Today was a very busy day project wise. One of the big events is that in working with the NACK center and their Nano4me website, we are going to be doing seven webinars over the next few months. This is pretty exciting, so if you like really small things, these webinars are the next big […]
Are you interested in teaching nanotechnology but don’t have the time to create the curriculum or actually sure how you should teach it? The NACK center has you covered!
The workshop will be held from Monday September 28th - Friday October 2nd at The Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel in State College, Pennsylvania.
This five-day workshop is […]
Nano4me.org has two new classes online with lab activities.
ESC 213: Materials in Nanotechnology
This course is an in-depth, hands-on exposure to materials fabrication approaches used in nanofabrication. Students learn that these processes can be guided by chemical or physical means or by some combination of these. Hands-on exposure will include self-assembly; colloidal chemistry; atmosphere, low-pressure and […]
Want to teach a course on nanotechnology but need material. The NSF Nanotechnology Application and Career Knowledge (NACK) Center at Penn State University has just gone live with their course materials that are free for educational uses. Here is the press release with all pertinient links!
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Advanced Technological Education (ATE) National […]
