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.
