Learn about Remotely Accessible Instruments for Nanotechnology (RAIN), a fascinating way of engaging your middle and secondary students in the world of nanotechnology. Live from your classroom, you can directly connect to and operate nanotechnology equipment such as Scanning Electron and Atomic Force microscopes. There is no charge and you can even have your own students send in samples and operate the machines.

This webinar addresses challenges in commercializing nanotechnology, focusing on the insurance industry and the challenges of underwriting nanotechnology and other emerging technologies. It took place on September 22, 2016.

Join Mariel Kolker as she discusses Nanoscale Science and Engineering, the high school level, year-long course she co-developed. Mariel has 16 years of teaching experience, the last 7 of which have been at Morristown High School, Morristown, NJ, where she teaches physics, engineering, and nanoscience. She worked with the Soft Materials Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology to develop the course she will be explaining. Mariel will be sharing her approach for teaching nanoscience and is looking for feedback from the community on how to improve or expand the curriculum.

The 2016 U.S.-EU: Bridging NanoEHS Research Efforts joint workshop brought together the U.S.- EU Communities of Research (CORs), which serve as a platform for American and European scientists to share information on nanoEHS research. This was the 5th event in a series of joint nanoEHS workshops organized by the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative and the European Commission.
