Some of these tools include virtual labs [1], [2], concept or clickerquestions [3], [4], and online and interactive textbooks. Yet, we know adding technology to aclassroom does not always improve learning [5]. The COVID-19 pandemic and the move toemergency online instruction only increased the use of such tools as other avenues to connectwith students and enhance online instruction. An

Nanotechnology is the abilityto observe, manipulate, measure, and manufacture things at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to100 nanometers. While the word nanotechnology is new and was introduced in the late 1970s,the existence of functional devices and structures of nanometer dimensions is not new, andactually such structures have existed on earth as long as life itself [1].The idea behind nanoscience and
