Tiny Science. Big Impacts. Cool Videos: Student Video Contest Viewing Page

The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) would like to invite members of the public to cast their vote for the winning videos in NNI’s student video contest, Tiny Science. Big Impacts. Cool Videos.  Graduate students working in labs across the United States and U.S. territories sent in videos that demonstrate how their nanotechnology research will bring solutions to real-world problems. Voting opens to the public on Friday, May 1st at 12 noon EST and closes on May 15th. The winning video will be featured here on Nano.gov—the U.S. Federal Government's official nanotechnology website—for a month.
