According to polls, most people haven't heard about nanotechnology and those who did don't have a very good understanding of what it is. Nanowerk's nanotechnology quiz is a set of 20 questions with multiple choice answers. After you answer all the questions you get to see your results as well as the correct answers and their explanations, complete with links to further reading and sites of interest.

The quiz is a small contribution to the efforts by all of us in the nano-community to spark interest in nanosciences and nanotechnology and get people involved in the things that will shape our future for better or worse.

Go ahead, take the test. So when somebody asks you what 'optical tweezers' are, you will be ready.
