We're Sarah and Mande and we heard about a special metal that can kill bacteria: silver. Turns out silver has been used throughout history from Egyptians to American settlers to prevent bacteria in food and wounds. We stopped by the Sciencenter in Ithaca to learn more about how nanosized silver is being used today.

I'm Taylor. My friend Gabe and I love the water, but we know that keeping it clean is not always easy. Just upriver in Palmerton, Pennsylvania, there is an old zinc smelting plant that was one of the factories polluting the local rivers and streams. We headed to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia and learned that nanoiron is being used to clean up contaminants and keep the water safe.

Should we rush nanoresearch into practice so people can benefit ASAP?

We're Kobel and Nathan. Our friend, Adam, took a skateboarding spill and is stuck with a cast on his leg for weeks. At the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, we learned that scientists are using nanotechnology to help regenerate nerves and bones.

I'm Keeli and my friend Connor and I love the great outdoors! We were practicing putting up our tents for a camping trip when I noticed that my tent seemed to set itself up almost instantly while Connor's tent took a long time to set up. I remembered this display I saw with school recently at the Children's Museum of Houston and suggested we go check it out.

Is it important to learn how things work at the nanoscale?

I'm Jasmine, during the summer I like to volunteer at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens with my friend Melinda. This summer our job was watering plants. While we were watering, Melinda and I noticed that different plants handled water in different ways. This got us thinking: Why do some leaves shed water and others don't?

We're Jennifer and Nooshin and we're rock climbers extraordinaire! We recently decided to go to the Lawrence Hall of Science to see some lizards firsthand and find out: Which lizards are the best climbers?

Do you think nanotechnology is safe?

We're Alettie and Yvonne! We live in Chicago and recently we decided to go to the MSI (that's Museum of Science and Industry) for its 75th anniversary. While we were there we met Annette and G. Brian, glass artists from the Corning Museum of Glass who made a glass dragonfly for us from our very own design!
