How Do You Build Something So Small?: Nanofabrication
• This video is from a live presentation which Mike Deal from the   Stanford Nanofabrication Facility gave to classes as part of a   remote access activity. The video introduces the processes   involved in nanofabrication and the reasons a very clean   environment is needed for building materials, devices and   machines at the nanoscale. Use after chemistry module unit 1.
