Applied Math and Science Education Repository

AMSER (Applied Math and Science Education Repository) is a portal of math and science educational resources and services that are open source and available to the public. Included in the site are university publications and websites, the websites of professional organizations, and content from agencies such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Also included are teaching tools for classroom use or personal study (great resources if you're looking to learn a little about a new field or want a refresher on a topic). Click on the "Resources" tab to browse by topic, or search for keywords using the site's search options. Register with AMSER to receive updates on the latest additions to the repository.

AMSER is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) and is being created by a team of project partners led by Internet Scout.

Join the nanotechnology community online at nanoHUB.org

The nanoHUB is a web-based resource for research, education and collaboration in nanotechnology. The nanoHUB hosts over 1000 resources which will help you learn about nanotechnology, including online presentations, courses, learning modules, podcasts, animations, teaching materials, and more. The nanoHUB also offers simulation tools which you can access from your web browser, so you can not only learn about but also simulate nanotechnology devices. The nanoHUB also provides a collaboration environment via workspaces, online meetings and user groups. Most of the resources and services offered by nanoHUB are free for everyone; registration is required for some resources, but registration is also free. The nanoHUB is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Purdue University.
