STEM in Science Classrooms – Difference Between Science and Technology

STEM Education Guide

As the country rolled into the 21st century, STEM achievements in the US were behind those in other countries. Although it can merge with other fields such as engineering, technology is generally used to describe computer-related jobs. Computer programmers code the software for the engineers to plan.

Examining the extremely small

Futurum

A nanometre (nm) is a unit of measurement equal to a billionth of a metre, or 0.000001 mm. There are currently 38 research groups in CeNS, and they share their skills and equipment with each other, resulting in scientific discoveries that could not be achieved if individual nanoscientists were working alone.
