DAY 7 Spring Cleaning

Today, Dr. Nathan, our mentor, was busy with tidying up his laboratory for inspection. Hence, we partook in our own research. 

In the vast field of materials science knowledge, there is a multitude of ways to manufacture nanoparticles, using various high-technology instruments.

One interesting way is called Microwave-Assisted Synthesis, which uses, you guessed it, a microwave oven! It is so simplistic that you can even carry it out with your consumer microwave oven at home (but please don't).


Finally, we will leave you with some fascinating photos of nanoparticles, found in the F.A.C.T.S. yesterday.
