Overview
Rapid development of nanotechnology is often considered as a fundamental revolution in technology and is compared with the discovery of antibiotics, television, nuclear weapons, and computer technologies. Nanotechnology is a key technology and refers to a wide range of scientific and technological activities that study and work with phenomena or properties at nanometer scale (around 0.1-100nm; one nanometer is one millionth of a meter). Introducing current and potential applications is as significant as education. In this course, nanotechnology applications in textile, agriculture, oil and gas, automotive, environment, sports and nutrition industry are reported.

Booklet
Description |
It starts with an introduction to “glass and nanotechnology”. Then it talks about nanoglass and its different types. |
Mental Challenge |
Does nanoglass have higher properties than normal glass? |
Quizzes and Activities |
Activity: Imaging you want to choose a nanoglass for a newly built house. Which nanoglass do you think is more suitable. You can use your imagination for the size and location of the house. Find out if there is a commercialized product for this purpose. |
