Try Your Hand at Nanoscience
Nano Prizes, Science Stickers and More!
Learn what is nanotechology? How does it improve our daily lives?
The CNSI at UCLA will also participate in the celebration, offering hands-on nanoscience demos on campus to showcase how nanotechnology is shaping everyday products and the challenges and opportunities it presents for the future.
National Nanotechnology Day, celebrated annually on October 9 (10/9), honors the nanometer scale (10⁻⁹ meters) and raises awareness about nanotechnology’s role in enriching our daily lives. The event features community-led activities and educational demonstrations at schools, universities, and organizations across the country, showcasing advances in nanotechnology and its potential for future innovations.
Experiments presented include…
Discover how materials absorb water and expand
Originally developed by NASA as a means of moving rocket fuel in a weightless environment, ferrofluids are magnetic liquids – and super cool!
Explore superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces
Learn how nanoscale patterns produce vibrant colors (visible light, nanometer wavelength)
