Educational Tools and Resources

nanoHUB
Extensive library of nano-related interactive online simulations and educational resources such as tutorials, seminars, and online courses.

Topographic visualization unit
Educational tool develped at Cornell University's Center for Nanoscale Systems. Based on Lego bricks and a laser, it helps students understand the principles of AFM by sensing and mapping an invisible surface. Available for purchase through West Hill Biological Resources.

AFM Simulation Software
Applications by Dr. Joe Griffith model various aspects of a scanning probe microscope. The programs allow the user to change various parameters to visualize the SPM's response.

Force Curve Simulations
Three movies simulating AFM force curves are available for on-line viewing on the site of the Interface Physics Group in Münster.

National Center for Learning and Teaching
Established at Northwestern University with a five-year, $15 million NSF grant, the center's mission is to "develop the next generation of leaders in NSE teaching and learning." Activities include curriculum development and testing, professional development, outreach, and on-line resources.

NanoStudent
Web site dedicated to bringing together educational resources, tutorials, and opportunities related to nanotechnology and MEMS.
