Nanoparticles in Medicine
DNA-like molecules can be attached to gold nanoparticles. The resulting nanoparticle complex is designed to seek out and repair
or destroy diseased cells such as cancer cells.

Environmental Applications:Nitrate and Nitrite Detection
Nanoparticles can be used to measure the concentration of
toxins in water. Here, the amount of nitrite is related to the color of
the nanoparticle solution.

Research Project Topics for Students
• Environmental fate of nanoparticles: Where do they end up after we use them?
• Biological effects: Are any nanoparticles toxic? If so, how are they harmful?
• The future of nanoparticles: What new exciting devices or applications will nanoparticles be used for in the future?

Experiments and Activities to teach Nanoscience1. How small are nano-sized objects? How can they be measured? Scale and Measurement module, Measurement of diameter of a hair
http://www.accessnano.org/teaching-modules/scale-measurement#experiment3 Measurement of a thin film of oleic acidhttp://umassk12.net/nano/materials/web2010/ Cutting it down to nano activity (can you cut a piece of paper into nanoscale sized pieces?) http://www.mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/IPSE/educators/cuttingNano.html
Nanosugar (based on idea that 1 sugar molecule = 1 nm): http://www.mrsec.wisc.edu/Edetc/IPSE/educators/nanoSugar.html 2. How do properties of nanomaterials differ from bulk materials? See slides “Size Matters” http://umassk12.net/nano/materials/web2010/
