Nano-Link is an alliance of educational institutions (high school through
graduate school)
That provides nanoscience educational content, guidance and
direction to anyone
who wants, needs or desires that information
www.nano-link.org
Nano-Link provides nanotechnology content in 3 forms:
• Entire, 16 week courses (30 available)
• College level labs (45+ available)
• Modularized topic specific, 1 hour, activity based content
• Used by over 890 educators in 6 countries, (48 US states) reaching
over 75,000 students
Nanotechnology is…..
the ability to observe, image, study, measure and manipulate at the molecular and atomic scale.
What we used to learn by trial and error
We can now understand at the molecular and/or atomic level

Description:
The ability of the Environmental Scanning
Electron Microscope (ESEM) to condense and
evaporate liquids has enabled the in situ dynamic
study of condensation, evaporation and transport
of water inside carbon nanotubes. It has been
possible to see liquid menisci inside straight,
CVD-fabricated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having
disordered walls. From the measured contact
angles, it is clear that these CNTs are hydrophilic.
Complex meniscus shapes and slow liquid
dynamics due to water confinement and strong
interaction with tube walls have been observed.
The above ESEM images show the dynamic
behavior of a water plug close to the open end of
a nanotube. The meniscus shape changes when,
at a constant stage temperature, the vapor
pressure of water in the chamber is changed (a)
5.5 Torr, (b) 5.8 Torr, (c) 6.0 Torr, (d) 5.8 Torr
and (e) 5.7 Torr, where the meniscus returns to
the shape seen in (a). The asymmetrical shape of
the meniscus, especially the complex shape of
the meniscus on the right side in (a, e), is a result
of the difference in the vapor pressure caused by
the open left end and closed right end of the tube.
(f) TEM image showing a similar plug shape in a
closed CNT under pressure.
