Nano Lab

Hands-on activities     Virtual Experiments    

The Virtual Lab lets you become a researcher and do your own experiments online. Based on current research in the field of nanotechnologies (NT), the experiments of the Virtual Lab cover several research areas such as medicine, energy, environment, and information and communication technologies (ICT).

NANOYOU online experiments from the Virtual Lab are a unique opportunity to recreate real experiments and to learn about the current research on NT that is being done at the Barcelona Science Park, in the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre at the University of Aarhus and in the Nanoscience Centre at the University of Cambridge.

In addition to the tools developed by NANOYOU, you will also find resources from other Internet sites in this section.
