  • Abstract
    The paper presents the portal called TRYNANO.ORG about nanotechnology created by IEEE for the benefit of the public. Its main goal is to serve as an ever-changing resource for students, their parents, their teachers, and school counselors. It also provides support materials to professionals who are considering changing fields or want to expand their knowledge about nanotechnology. This portal provides a vast array of materials related to nanotechnology that helps visitors explore materials, applications, and forecasts on how the future might be changed by those focusing their efforts at the nanoscale.
