Hobbyists interested in nanotechnology can start with some relatively accessible tools and materials:
Microscopes: Basic optical microscopes can be useful, but more advanced projects might require electron microscopes or atomic force microscopes (AFM). Nano-fabrication kits: These kits often include materials like nanoparticles, nanowires, and other nanoscale components. Chemical reagents: For synthesis and modification of nanomaterials, a range of chemicals may be needed. Safety gear: Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats is essential.
