2. What is Nanotechnology? • The study and manipulation of material at the nanoscale. • Think very, very small…smaller than anything you can see under a conventional microscope. • One nanometer equals one billionth of a meter!

3. How do we see things at the Nanoscale? Scanning Electron Microscope • Use electrons instead of light. • Electrons are smaller than the wavelength of light. • Atomic Force Microscope • Uses a very sharp tip, a few atoms wide, to “see” things by tracing their shape. • Can view DNA and atoms.

4. Why Care About Nanotechnology? Manipulation of materials on the nanoscale can enable huge changes in properties.

5. CNSE Innovation - Nanoelectronics • Nanotechnology is used to develop computer chips, new features in cell phones, create the latest video games, I-Pods and much more

8. Nano Innovation: Products • Nano properties are making the products we use lighter, stronger, faster, more durable, water repellent and even anti-microbial.

9. What does it take? Nanotechnology integrates many fields of study
