Two experiments related to nanoscience are described. These experiments are currently part of the undergraduate Physics program at the University of Puerto Rico. A simple to build and operate electrospinning apparatus produces conducting polymer nanofibers that are used to fabricate nanoresistors and Schottky nanodiodes. The properties of these devices are straightforward to study. A modification of the sample chamber can convert the nanoresistor experiment into a supersensitive alcohol vapor sensor.
