You touch nanotechnology
every day!

Nanotechnology is enabled by very tiny materials called nanomaterials and are already inside many of the products we use every day.

Nanomaterials and their applications are still being discovered and there are endless possibilities for a new generation of STEM professionals.

“Nano” talks from TED.com

“Nanotechnology” is frequently mentioned at TED talks

TED Talk about nanotechnology - Ray Kurzweil
“We'll be able to manufacture almost anything we need in the 2020s, from information, in very inexpensive raw materials, using nano-technology.”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Mark Shaw
“When you have nanotechnology and nanoscience, what's occurred is that we're able to now look at atoms and molecules and actually control them for great benefits”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Paula Hammond
“Once bound, the cancer cell takes up the nanoparticle, and now we have our nanoparticle inside the cancer cell and ready to deploy.”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Michael Pritchard
“Lifesaver pores are 15 nanometers. So nothing is getting through.”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Angela Belcher
“We've been able to engineer viruses to pick up carbon nanotubes and then grow titanium dioxide around them [to make batteries]”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Skylar Tibbits
“There's even a software called cadnano that allows us to design three-dimensional shapes like nano robots”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Louie Schwartzberg
We can actually move atoms and begin to create amazing nano devices”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Justin Hall-Tipping
“One of the things about working at the nanoscale is things look and act very differently. You think of carbon as black. Carbon at the nanoscale is actually transparent and flexible.”
TED Talk about nanotechnology - George Tulveski
"When I was a graduate student, it was one of the most exciting times to be working in nanotechnology."
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Joshua Smith
"We shrunk the dimensions of this technology from the micron scale to the true nanoscale."
TED Talk about nanotechnology - Nano Girl - Michelle Dickinson
“That’s the great thing about working in nanotech: nobody can prove you wrong because it’s invisible!”

The Importance of STEM

Worldwide, there is a recognized relationship between:
education in science and engineering and innovation and prosperity.

“Excellence in math and science education is directly correlated to the ability of countries to successfully compete and prosper in the global community of the 21st century”

(The ExxonMobil Foundation)

“Scholars and practitioners in scientific and technical fields are chief drivers of the nation’s prosperity”

(The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)

“There is an innovation deficit which is about to start impacting our modern societies development”

(Judy Estrin, former Cisco CTO and author of the book “Closing the Innovation Gap”)

“Roughly 40% of students planning engineering and science majors end up switching to other subjects or failing to get any degree”

(Why Science Majors Change Their Minds (It’s Just So Darn Hard), The New York Times, Christopher Drew, 11/04/2011)

“Science is more than a school subject, or the periodic table, or the properties of waves. It is an approach to the world, a critical way to understand and explore and engage with the world, and then have the capacity to change that world…”

(Former U.S. President Barack Obama)

Although nanotechnology is anticipated to be at the base of the “21st century industrial revolution,” it is not taught in high schools or colleges due primarily to a lack of properly designed courses.
