Expanding outreach with portable SEM for K-12 math/science. Last year MRSEC graduate students at the University of Arkansas brought cutting edge microscopy to local middle-school students and allow them to explore the world of nanoscience in real-time.   This year our focus expanded to regional high-school students. The microscope is a portable scanning electron microscope (SEM).   The SEM allows the students to explore the world of the “nano”.
