Dr. Paulson has developed a traveling web based nanotechnology demonstration to acquaint high school students with the power of modern instrumentation. Using a joy stick and the internet students can manipulate the tip of an atomic force microscope to scan surfaces. The AFM is part of Paulson research lab but students have access to it through this remote tool. The joy stick can also be enabled to respond to the surface to provide the sensation that you are actually touching the surface through the Joy stick. Both Harrisonburg high school and Governor’s school students have enjoyed the activity.
