Description: Some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in recent years involve things that are ACTUALLY very, very small. The science of nanotechnology deals with the smallest structures, in the range of to 100 nanometers in size. That's as small as just a few atoms in a row (Atom corresponds to about nanometer)! with this kit, The intangible, nanosomic world becomes accessible with hands-on experiments using both scaled-up models and real nanomaterials. Nanoparticle can be made of different materials and exist in a wide variety of forms -thin layers, tubes, balls, and tree-like structures. These particles can be coated onto surfaces, They can enhance other materials such as paint, They can be used as a delivery method for pharmaceuticals in the body, and much more. Specific applications include, for example, self-cleaning house paints and water-repellent clothes, anti-fog coatings on glasses, UV protection Components in sunscreen, antifouling coatings for ships (to prevent algae growth, thereby reducing fuel consumption), coatings for devices, and materials to more effectively filter dirty water. Start out by conducting experiments concerning size, scale, and orders of magnitude in the international system of units, to get a feel for just how small a nanometer really is. Stir up some mixtures and suspensions, and then examine exotic mixtures to learn about the nanosomic particles suspended in them. Shine A laser through a colloidal Gold - a suspension of nanoscale particles of gold! Learn about the electromagnetic spectrum, laser light, Electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy to begin to grasp how we can make nanomaterials visible. Experiment with a special material that mimics the nanostructures on a gecko's footpads that allow it to climb straight up a Vertical pane of glass with ease! - a parents' Choice Gold award winner.
