Nanopatterning with Lithography

Abstract
In this Activity, students are introduced to the unique challenges of nanoscale fabrication. They will learn the general principles of serial and parallel nanofabrication techniques. Using a macroscale analogy, students explore the parallel fabrication technique known as nanosphere lithography to create patterns. The representation of the technique uses small nylon spheres as a nanosphere mask and talcum powder as the material deposited through the mask to form desired particle patterns.

Chemistry Teacher Connection

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.


C&EN CLICs

Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students. 


JCE Collections Available
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
