Knowing the mechanical properties of workpieces and machine-tools also at the nanometer scale is an absolute necessity for an efficient nanoscale production. Current technologies are lacking the flexibility and robustness needed for measuring such key parameters as topography, morphology, roughness, adhesion, or micro- and nano-hardness directly in a production environment. This hinders rapid deve ...

The majority of science teachers do not have the expertise to bring nanoscience into the classroom and do not have the network of contacts to let their pupils meet actual scientists and step into the world of nanoresearch and high-tech entrepreneurship. On the other hand, outreach activities to schools organized by research centres and companies often do not apply the modern pedagogical approaches ...
