Tiny Tech episodes
- Organic Solar CellsEpisode 020Ever wonder how a solar cell works? When sunlight strikes a solar cell, its energy is transferred to electrons, which jump out of their original locations and move through the solar cell, creating an electrical current...2 min
- Graphene: Tale of the TapeEpisode 019Remember when you were a kid, drawing all over your desk with your trusty number 2 pencil and then trying to rub off the black graphite marks with your hands? Well, if you had tried to clean your blackened fingers...2 min
- Nanotechnology and DiabetesEpisode 018There are many reasons for getting a tattoo: personal expression, remembrance of a family member, or just for fun. But what if there could be a medical reason for getting a tattoo? People with diabetes must...2 min
- Titania NanosheetsEpisode 017In the modern world, titania (also known by its chemical formula, TiO2) can be found in many products.This is because titania is great at absorbing UV light, making it ideal for use in protective coatings like paint or sunscreen...2 min
- Superparamagnetic NanoparticlesEpisode 016The dark mag-stripe on your credit card is made of iron-containing particles, each of which is a magnet with a north and south pole. The information on your card is stored by making magnetic patterns, in which the poles...2 min
- Nanocar RaceEpisode 015How would you like to drive on a racetrack of solid gold or silver? Well, six teams of scientists recently did just that. However, it would take 100 of their racetracks, laid end-to-end, to equal the thickness of a piece of paper, and...2 min
- Luminescent NanomaterialsEpisode 014Feeling energetic?Well, sometimes molecules end up with excess energy too.This can happen in several ways, such as when molecules absorb light, are subjected to an electrical current, or undergo a chemical...2 min
- The Feat of Sticky Little FeetEpisode 013Consider the gecko, a fascinating lizard. Geckos have the amazing ability to walk upside down even on the undersides of smooth surfaces such as glass.This ability is due to the millions of tiny flexible hairs on the undersides of their feet.2 min
- Nanostructured CatalystsEpisode 012If you are in the business of making plastics, or gasoline, or pharmaceuticals, you quickly discover that the chemical reactions to make them are really slow: you can mix the reactants and wait years -- and nothing...2 min
- Scanning Probe MicroscopyEpisode 011What's the smallest thing you can see? Well, ordinary microscopes can image things that are about 100 times smaller than a human hair, which actually is still pretty big on the nano scale.For smaller objects, you...2 min
