Spotlight
We are developing and applying new educational technology tools for student exploration of complex molecular structures. The software will recognize forces and allow students to navigate around and through molecules. With virtual probes, students will be able to assess the forces among molecules that shape structures such as DNA, proteins, ionic lattices, or cell membranes, thus providing a profound introduction to nano- and bio-technology. This approach could drive substantial improvements in science courses at both high school and college levels.
