In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

"Exploring the Solar System: Craters" is an active, hands-on activity that demonstrates how craters form, and what they can teach us about the history and composition of planets and moons.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
