For Students K-12
No matter how old or you are, learning about nanotechnology can be fun and exciting. All around the country, we have found new ways to learn about nanotechnology. There are museum exhibits with hands-on experiments and exhibits, and even if you can't get there, you can watch the experiments and visit the museums online. There are magazines with cool stories and games about nanotechnology. Check out the nanotechnology bus that drives around the country and find out when it's coming to your town. There's even a program to learn about nanotechnology by playing with Legos®! Here you will see that nanotechnology is not just one thing. Check out these links to learn more about the fun and interesting ways you can learn about nanotechnology. Nanooze is an online and print science magazine created by Cornell University as part of the education programs of the NNIN--the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network. How Small is Nanotechnology?

Teacher Resources
One of the great strengths of nanoscience can also pose tough choices for teachers. Nanotechnology does not fall under just one discipline such as physics, biology, chemistry, materials science, or engineering, but all these and others. In science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education circles, there is an ongoing debate about nanotechnology education: Should it have its own individual curriculum? Or should nanotechnology be woven into the many scientific—and social—disciplines comprising its many elements? This section won’t settle that argument, but it does provide a wide variety of resources to help teachers who are making nanotechnology a part of their lesson plans. The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network Education Portal has useful guidelines for approaching how to integrate nanotechnology into your curriculum. Professional Development Programs for Teachers Nanotechnology and Career Knowledge (NACK) Center at Penn State is closely aligned with CNEU.

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of a dying star casting off layers of gas and dust, leaving the burned-out white dwarf star, the bluish-white dot in the centre. The star, NGC 2440, is about 4,000 light years away from Earth. (Associated Press/NASA, European Space Agency, and Keith Noll of the Space Telescope Science Institute) A Canadian astrophysicist has used the pulsations of a white dwarf star to determine how it spins, raising new questions about the life, and death, of stars. Gilles Fontaine of the University of Montreal and his colleagues in Canada and France used a technique called astroseismology to map the inside of a white dwarf. White dwarfs are the dying embers of collapsed stars that are slowly cooling and fading away. "Because the red giants are so big, the gravity at their surface is quite low, making it easy for matter to escape," said Fontaine in an email. Stars have a large mass and they all spin, which means they all have a lot of angular momentum.
