Let's make nanoparticles!
Perhaps in 2007 Fall one hour outreach program by Prof. Eah will be ready to local K-12 community.
It includes a very short lecture about "What is Nano?" and each student will make gold nanoparticles in water.
The size of gold nanoparticles will be different among students, and therefore the nanoparticles solution will have many colors like brown, orange, red, purple, and dark.
Then students will see light scattering from individual gold nanoparticles like stars glowing in the sky through an optical microscope.
Please contact Prof. Eah, eahs(at)rpi.edu, if you are interested.

See by yourself what a scientist sees with an electron microscope!
Perhaps in 2007 Fall web-broadcasting will come here for real-time observation of nanoparticles using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope).
Seeing is believing.
You can see nanoparticles less than 10 nm and their 2D (Two-Dimensional) ordering.
The schedule, during the day or in the late night here at Troy, will be posted beforehand.
