Birck expo teaches high school students about nanotechnology

Fifty students from Lafayette Jefferson High School attended Birck Nanotechnology Center’s Nano Expo 2023 on Friday (April 14). The Nano Expo is an immersive, hands-on experience where high school students can discover how nanotechnology is used and learn about the many career opportunities in the field available in Indiana.

Students participated in four activity areas that rely heavily on nanotechnology: semiconductors and microscopy, quantum computing, health care and environmental sustainability. Above, students discover superconductor levitation in the quantum activity room.
