    The NSF is an American Federal Agency which funds research across a wide range of scientific areas, from astronomy to geology to zoology, with the exception of medical science. A particular aim is to fund cutting-edge research: projects and collaborations which may "seem like science fiction today" but tomorrow will be accepted as part of the fabric of everyday life. Their nanoscience page reflects this commitment to pushing back the frontiers of scientific research. The Multimedia Gallery features stills, podcasts, film and video across all fields of science and engineering, again, with an emphasis on current research and development, coupled with an awareness of the foundation’s educational mission.

    These short vignettes, the result of a collaborative project between the chemistry schools of the universities of East Anglia and Southampton, are annotated and interactive highlights covering critical concepts from chemistry screencasts (digital recordings of the evolving image on the screen during a lecture presentation synchronised with the speaker’s audio narration). They are available in three formats: online viewing as video files; downloadable SCORM folders for interactivity with a learning management system (e.g. Blackboard); interactivity-free but mobile-friendly .mp4 files. The vignettes are licensed under the Creative Commons for open access by the academic community, and the website encourages evaluative feedback.
