Nanoscience Classroom Resources
This collection of lessons and web resources is aimed at classroom teachers, their students, and students’ families. Most of these resources come from the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). NSDL is the National Science Foundation’s online library of resources for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. See www.nsdl.org
Nanobiotechnology Center
www.nbtc.cornell.edu
Nanobiotechnology is an emerging area of scientific and technological opportunity. The center is committed to education and outreach, taking the discoveries from the laboratory and realizing their potential benefit to society. Nanobiotechnology applies the tools and processes of nano/microfabrication to build devices for studying biosystems. Researchers also learn from biology how to create better micro-nanoscale devices.
