About the Course

How can we create nano-structures that are 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair? How can we “see” at the nano-scale? Through instruction and lab demonstrations, in this course you will obtain a rich understanding of the capabilities of nanotechnology tools, and how to use this equipment for nano-scale fabrication and characterization. The nanoscale is the next frontier of the Maker culture, where designs become reality. To become a Nanotechnology Maker pioneer, we will introduce you to the practical knowledge, skills, and tools that can turn your nanotechnology ideas into physical form and that enable you to image objects at the nano-scale. This course has been developed by faculty and staff experts in nano-fabrication, electron beam microscopy, and nano-characterization through the Research Triangle Nanotechnology Network (RTNN). The RTNN offers training and use of the tools demonstrated in this course to schools and industry through the United States National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure program. The tools demonstrated in this course are available to the public through the RTNN....

I liked the course and have learned a lot from it. Though one criticism that i could make, is that the organisation of the course could have been better. For example, it takes some while to start learning about the subject, about 2 weeks into the course. Also, I noticed that the videos about accessing the equipment that are utilised are put at the end of each week, which would probably be better to be removed and put only at the end of the course. But overall, this course taught me a lot about monitoring, visualizing and analyzing samples at the nanoscale, and also a lot about manufacturing in the nanoscale. I would highly recommend taking this course if you too are interested in these kinds of modern manufacturing technologies.

The course would be a nice start for a beginner in the field of nanofabrication. The course mostly contains very basic definitions and a rough overview of the common fabrications techniques of classrooms. However, this course does not provide any detailed theoretical background or details about the hands-on experience about the techniques. So, I would say, if you are an absolute beginner in the cleanroom, go for the course to get a very basic overview of what happens inside a cleanroom.

Excelente como presentan de forma resumida el funcionamiento de las técnicas de fabricación y caracterización de nanomateriales, mostrando lo más importante de estas y dejando muy claro como se llevan a cabo. Me gustó mucho que mostraran los equipos y los lugares donde estas se realizan, dejando más clara la idea que quieren plasmar. Es una forma muy interesante y entretenida de aprender.

Good self - paced course. Starting with the very basics, the course takes us in - depth. Some completely alien topics may take 3 - 4 time repetition of videos for better understanding. Other than that, course is interesting with good practical demos simultaneously. Feels great to see the state of art facilities involved in fabrication of devices at such small scale. Thank you.

It's a very comprehensive course giving you an overview of the basics of fabrication and characterisation. It doesn't delve too deeply to be intimidating, and the delivery of content is just right, with engaging lab demonstrations to give context to theory. However, this is only an introductory course and it does a great job of you giving you a feel for the domain.

Very interesting course with theoretical explanation by professors followed by practical demonstrations by students. This reinforces the key messages. The variety of presenters make the videos more interesting. Some presenters are speaking a bit fast but overall i've enjoyed the course!

the course was very and informative, its basically a general introduction to various process to produce nano-sized materials. it had given me the advantage of understanding the basics of such a complicated branch of size that is the Nano-materials. Thank you very much!

Excellent tutorials. It would have been very nice to include some nanotechnology methods and techniques for biological research. For example, there was a brief mention of nanoparticles, but that could have been expanded more in-depth. Overall, great course!!

The basic knowledge presented is a great starting point but often not much detail is provided. I would have enjoyed a more rigorous course regarding many of the topics. Once again, it was a good introduction though.
