About nano

Audiovisual materials     Other Materials     Images and Art    

Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, where properties differ significantly from those at a larger scale. The nanoscale ranges from 100 nanometres down to the atomic level, where a nanometre is a millionth part of a millimetre.

Manipulating shape and size at nanometre scale, nanotechnologists are producing a wide variety of applications that take profit of the properties that this scale offers. Nowadays, thousands of researchers around the world are investigating the new contributions that NT can bring us by designing, characterising and producing new structures, devices and systems.

In this section you’ll be able to learn more about nanoscience and NT's through different resources such as videos, power-point presentations and posters, as well as a NT time machine, which will enable you to see how solutions to human needs have changed over time, and which solutions NT offer us for the future.
 
Not only will you be able to use the tools developed by NANOYOU, but you will also be able to visit our picture gallery and some resources available in other Internet sites.

We are now looking for the next generation of NANOYOU pilot schools!

During the 2009-2010 academic year 25 pilot schools have been teaching NT in their classrooms with a wide range of materials, including videos, online animations, games, workshops, virtual dialogues, and virtual experiments based on current research. The second call for pilot schools is now open.
