Based at Purdue University and partnered by eight other universities, <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> provides a web interface to numerous resources relevant to students and practitioners in nanotechnology. The cyber environment includes online courses and tutorials, proceedings of seminars, collaborative tools, and an interface for online simulation.</p> <p>For example, you can view research seminars on <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> through online slideshow with audio, powered by Breeze technology. You can go over the outline of the seminar, choose thumbnail views of the slides and even search text within the titles of the slides, then locate the content of interest and save some time. Another type of resource on <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> is the <font>online simulation tools</font>, which run realtime on nanoHUB. No installation is needed.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> resources are open to public for free. You just need to register to use. In the last eight months, <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> has served more than 10,000 users, with about 60,000 simulation jobs run and more than 10,000 videos viewed. The web server hits of <a href="http://www.nanohub.org/">nanoHUB</a> reach 1 million in May 2006.</p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/96#comments education web tool Sun, 10 Sep 2006 22:52:49 -0400 Teng Li 96 at http://imechanica.org
