Chemistry (12)In this project, new microscale imaging and chemical identification capabilities are being developed through the innovative coursework based on the Raman Scattering microscopy and Raman spectroscopy instrumentation acquired by the State University of New York at Potsdam. The innovative coursework involves hands-on experience with Raman instrumentation for students of two science departments (Chemistry and Biology) and the Anthropology department. A series of new experiments are being developed for use in lower division undergraduate courses, and a series of new laboratories incorporating advanced technologies are being introduced in upper division courses. The new instrumental capabilities are also being utilized to engage students in undergraduate research in the fields of nanoscience phenomena to enhance students' preparation for solving future challenges in the work place, industrial labs or academia. At the same time, demonstrations are being carried out for anthropology students with the aim to spread the information about the unique features and outstanding possibilities of compound identification and microscale analysis. While the high resolution Raman imaging techniques and chemical identification of species down to single molecule level have been presented in textbooks and research papers, the new hands-on experiences for students creates the opportunity to enhance students' comprehension of chemistry at the nanoscale level and enables them to gain new laboratory skills. These experiences integrated across the curriculum are advancing the learning process to the challenges of the explosion of nanoscience discoveries and emerging nanotechnologies requiring new approaches to the identification and monitoring of active chemical species in nanostructures.

化学 (12) 在该项目中，正在通过基于纽约州立大学波茨坦分校购买的拉曼散射显微镜和拉曼光谱仪器的创新课程开发新的微尺度成像和化学识别功能。 创新课程包括为两个科学系（化学和生物学）和人类学系的学生提供拉曼仪器的实践经验。 正在开发一系列用于低年级本科课程的新实验，并在高年级课程中引入一系列采用先进技术的新实验室。 新的仪器功能还被用来吸引学生参与纳米科学现象领域的本科研究，以增强学生为解决工作场所、工业实验室或学术界未来挑战的准备。 同时，正在为人类学学生进行演示，旨在传播有关化合物鉴定和微观分析的独特特征和杰出可能性的信息。 虽然高分辨率拉曼成像技术和低至单分子水平的物种化学鉴定已在教科书和研究论文中介绍，但为学生提供的新的实践经验为增强学生对纳米级化学的理解创造了机会，并使他们能够获得新的实验室技能。 这些跨课程的经验正在推动学习过程，以应对纳米科学发现和新兴纳米技术爆炸性增长的挑战，这些挑战需要新的方法来识别和监测纳米结构中的活性化学物质。
