Nanotechnology. An Introduction

This program begins with an explanation of nanotechnology, and then demonstrates micrometers and nanometers. Viewers will also examine the special properties of nanoparticles, the gecko effect, carbon nanotubes, surface energy; hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces as well as the lotus effect. Sections on the use of lasers in nanotechnology and issues raised by nanotechnology complete the program. DVD separately features short interviews on various aspects of nanotechnology.Teacher's guide available online: http://www.veavideo.com/teachersNotes/Nanotechnology%20-%20An%20Introduc...
