What is nanotechnology?
It is manipulating and characterizing
(seeing, feeling) of matter at the sub-100
nanometer scale (the nano-scale).

Why Now?
If nanotechnology has been
practiced by humans for almost
2000 years, why is it taking off
now?
Why is it so big now?

Why Now?
Because we have learned whats
going on We can now controllably and repeatedly
make things in the nano-size range.
And finally we can now see what we have
made.

A post-secondary institution
can use these as(1) A stand-alone two course
introduction to
nanotechnology
(2) An institution's first
offerings in nanotechnology
and then gradually add the
other 4 courses
(3) Source to be mined for
materials/labs
