Experiment with colorimetric gold nanosensorsNANOYOU
With this experiment you will discover the properties of gold at the nanoscale.
Gold (Au, atomic number 79) is the most malleable and ductile metal of all; it can be beaten to very thin sheets of material and rolled or bent as desired. This has been known and done for centuries.
In this experiment you will investigate nanoparticles of gold or nano-gold! The properties of nano-gold are very different and it all has to do with the size of the nanoparticles.
To download the protocol of the experiment and background information, as well as watching videos on how to perform it, visit: www.nanoyou.eu
Translations to several languages are also availabe in the NANOYOU website.

Habiter la lumière – Living Light by Lise Labdant and Karouna ChanyudhakornNANOYOU
This project was made in the context of the NANOYOU project in collaboration with ENSAD. http://www.nanoyou.eu
Scenario: This project deploys an existing translucent type of concrete, which would be impregnated with nanoparticles. The nanoparticles would allow the concrete to adapt to the climate, saving energy by using natural resources such as the sun to save on lighting and heating.
Technology: Smart weather sensors
Values: This is an aesthetic project. No recovering of the data for any use whatsoever. We aim: 1) To brighten up our cities, rendering sad buildings coloured, hence the idea of solidarity and 2) To use the climatic factors to save energy, which can also be regarded as an act of solidarity
Critique: Can we make energy saving visible, in a non compulsory, playful and aesthetic way?

Role play - Cancer diagnostic - NanotechnologyNANOYOU
Nanosensors can detect cancer and other diseases earlier through detecting protein markers in the blood. This allows for earlier treatment and higher chances of survival. However, concerns exist around privacy and how the data may be used, as there are no restrictions currently on protecting patient privacy. Different stakeholders have varying perspectives, such as patients wanting earlier access to care, while human rights activists worry about discrimination and privacy violations.
Nanotechnology offers opportunities to continue the miniaturization of computing components by exploiting quantum effects at the nanoscale. This could allow the development of next-generation integrated circuits with faster, more powerful devices. Beyond traditional silicon-based transistors, new nanomaterials like nanowires or quantum dots may be used to perform calculations. Emerging fabrication techniques also enable flexible, stretchable circuits for rollable or foldable devices. Long-term, nanotechnology may disperse electronics throughout the environment in ambient intelligent networks of multi-functional devices embedded in everyday objects.
Nanotechnology provides tools for understanding and treating disease at the nanoscale. Nanomaterials can interact specifically with biological components like proteins and DNA, allowing them to induce or stop metabolic reactions. These nanomaterials are also used in miniaturized diagnostic devices like biosensors and lab-on-a-chip technologies to provide fast, sensitive analysis from small samples without a laboratory. Nanosized drug delivery systems aim to target drugs solely to diseases, quickly and accurately, by entrapping or encapsulating drugs within polymer scaffolds or reservoirs at the nanoscale to reduce side effects.
Experiment with colorimetric gold nanosensors - Student laboratory worksheet ...NANOYOU
This document provides instructions for a student laboratory experiment on synthesizing and testing gold nanoparticles. [1] The experiment aims to understand how size affects gold's properties and how gold nanoparticles can be used in biosensors. [2] Students first synthesize a gold colloid and observe the color changes, then test how salt, sugar, and egg white affect the colloid's color, demonstrating its use as a colorimetric nanosensor. [3] Such nanosensors have applications in nanomedicine for detecting biomolecules like DNA or antibodies without needing labels.

Nanoscience involves the study of materials with small dimensions that exhibit remarkable and unusual properties compared to their macroscale counterparts. These nanomaterials can have optical properties that differ such as exhibiting different colors. Their mechanical and electrical properties can also be very different or even opposite. Additionally, nanomaterials have an increased surface area compared to volume, which causes changes in their reactivity, catalytic activity, solubility, and other properties compared to macroscale materials due to surface effects.

Role play - Antibacterial socks - Nanotechnology NANOYOU
Silver nanoparticles in antibacterial socks eliminate bacteria that cause odors and infections, but recent evidence shows these particles may harm the environment. While silver has been used for centuries as an antibacterial, nanoparticles could accumulate in large amounts from numerous products and damage ecosystems through toxicity to beneficial bacteria. However, businesses aim to profit from this technology. There is debate around whether to sell these socks until their environmental safety is confirmed or to limit potential risks to the environment.
Energy and the environment - applications of nanotechnologyNANOYOU
Nanotechnology has enabled advances in energy conversion and storage, decreasing energy consumption. It can help reduce energy use and increase production through advanced energy sources, new materials, improved batteries, and lower-power devices. Additionally, nanotechnology can address environmental issues using nanocatalysts, filtration, coatings, and more. Dye-sensitized solar cells use nanostructures to mimic photosynthesis, converting more sunlight into electricity than traditional solar panels.

This document discusses characterization methods for nanomaterials, specifically microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. It describes scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) which allow imaging at the atomic scale. STM works by measuring tunneling current between a tip and conductive sample, which is translated into topographic images. It has been instrumental in advancing nanoscience by enabling visualization of materials at the nanoscale. The document also briefly mentions other microscopy and spectroscopy methods for nanomaterial analysis such as electron microscopy, X-ray techniques, and Raman spectroscopy.

GPS Jackets
Nanotechnology has been used to develop a range of kids’ clothes that contain a global position-
ing system (GPS). The idea is that children could never be lost if they were wearing the nano-
engineered garment. It has been successful with adults who like to ski or hike alone in high
altitude areas. If they lose their way or become injured it is obviously a lot easier to rescue them.
GPS is a satellite navigation system that provides the exact positioning and clock time of the
wearer. It does this by sending a signal which can be received by one of the many satellites that
orbit the earth. These signals are microwaves just like light and radio waves. Each signal has a
unique frequency and wavelength so the wearer can be identified immediately. This means that if
you get lost you could be traced and found very quickly. Would it be a comfort to you to know that
you can always be traced no matter where you go, or would this make you feel that you have lost
your freedom?
