Let's make nanoparticles!

One hour outreach program is ready for the local K-12 community.
It includes a very short lecture about "What is Nano?" and each student will make gold nanoparticles in water.
The size of gold nanoparticles will be different among students, and therefore the nanoparticles solution will have many colors like brown, orange, red, purple, and dark.
Then students will see images of light scattering from individual gold nanoparticles like stars glowing in the sky under a dark-field optical microscope.
Please contact Prof. Eah, eahs(at)rpi.edu, if you are interested.
