Nano Lab

In the Nano Lab, you will find a Virtual lab where you will be able to become a researcher and do your own experiments online as well as resources for hands-on activities to experience different properties of the nanoscale and some of their possible applications.

In addition to the tools developed by NANOYOU, you will also find resources from other Internet sites in this section.

Would you like to experience how it is like to be a nanoscientist? Would you like to construct your own electronic nose? Enter the virtual lab and do the research yourself!
