[|Nanotechnology Consumer Products Inventory] - According to the website - "After more than twenty years of basic and applied research, nanotechnologies are gaining in commercial use. Nanoscale materials now are in electronic, cosmetics, automotive and medical products. But it has been difficult to find out how many "nano" consumer products are on the market and which merchandise could be called "nano." While not comprehensive, this inventory gives the public the best available look at the 450+ nanotechnology-based consumer products currently on the market."

[|The Virtual Microscope] - Part of NASA's virtual laboratory initiative, this site provides simulated versions of a [| Philips Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM)], a [| Fluorescence Light Microscope], and an [|Atomic Force Microscope.] Students and teachers can also watch videos ("Training" tab) of how the instrumentation works and examine images ("Data" tab) provided by these technologies.
