You are an iron oxide nanoparticle!  
\*You are a rolling stone: Fe**₃**O4 NPs are superparamagnetic, so they are moved by outside magnetic fields.  
\*You side with your closest friend amidst conflict in your friend group: Fe**₃**O4 NPs stick with magnetic materials that attract them, like someone might stick with their best friend through thick and thin.  
\*You are easily affected by your environment: Fe**₃**O4 (magnetite) is easily oxidized to Fe**₂**O**₃** (maghemite)

Iron Oxide Nanoparticle (Fe₃O₄ NP)

You are a carbon dot!  
\*You enjoy painting as a hobby: CDs come in an array of colors and can be compared to a palette with multiple colors.  
\*You are a minimalist: CDs can be made from simple and affordable starting materials.  
\*You are a resourceful person: CDs are made from a range of super simple materials and can be used for lots of different things.

Carbon Dot (CD)

You are a carbon nanotube!  
\*You are level headed: CNTs are generally known to be inert.  
\*You spend most of your free time exercising: CNTs have been used to make sports equipment.  
\*You stay more focused on your long term goals than short term: CNTs’ cylindrical structure is like a long tunnel that blocks out distractions as you work toward your long term goals.  
\*You like the excitement of living life on the edge: CNTs’ long, thin structure is like a tightrope.

Carbon Nanotube (CNT)

You are a silver NP!   
\*You are a protector: these nanoparticles are used in detergents, silverware, and clothing for protection against pathogens.  
\*You are a jack-of-all trades: these particles have lots of different properties.   
\*You are environmentally friendly: scientists use “green chemistry” to synthesize silver NPs.  
\*You are a reflective person: Ag NPs can be used to coat glass for making mirrors and, given our Moon’s associated esoteric beliefs to be a symbol of inner reflection (i.e., a mirror), Ag NPs are associated with the Moon.

Silver Nanoparticle (Ag NP)

You are a gold nanoparticle!   
\*You are great at leading large groups: the SPR quality of Au NPs correlates to a person who can lead a large group in concerted action.  
\*You are a confidante: gold NPs quench fluorescence, which is similar to a friend who can listen to your emotions and act as a shoulder to cry on.  
\*You enjoy photography: Au NPs are known to be used in bioimaging.

Gold Nanoparticle (Au NP)

You are a silica nanoparticle!  
\*You absorb outside energies easily and bottle up your emotions: SiO**₂** NP have a mesoporous form that can absorb things easily and/or carry other substances inside.  
\*You enjoy watching or playing golf: mesoporous SiO**₂** NPs resemble the shape of a golf ball.  
\*You are a very important person: SiO**₂** NPs are the most produced nanoparticle in society.

Silica Nanoparticle (SiO₂ NP)

You are a CeO**₂** NP  
\*You are protective of your friends: CeO**₂** NPs have antioxidant activity that can protect organisms.  
\*You prioritize self-improvement and personal growth from within: CeO**₂** NPs can change oxidation states.  
\*You are a self-starter: CeO**₂** NPs are great catalysts that can initiate reactions between other materials.  
\*You spend your free time working on your car: CeO**₂** is the most commonly used material for making catalytic converters.

Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle (TiO₂ NP)

You are an aluminum oxide NP!  
\*You are a lifesaver: these NPs are used to treat asthma and provide soothing energy.  
\*You are resilient: these NPs are hardy and have learned important life lessons from hardship.  
\*Your environment does not bring you down: Al₂O₃ NPs can push through difficult conditions.  
\*You work best under pressure: Al₂O₃ NPs can withstand high temperatures and wearing environments, they are akin to people that thrive in high-pressure environments.

Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticle (Al₂O₃ NP)

You are a CuO NP!  
\*You enjoy gardening: CuO NPs can be used to deliver nutrients to plants.  
\*You enjoy spending time with friends, but you value your alone time: CuO NPs are generally safe at low concentrations but can be toxic at high concentrations.  
\*You want to leave a big impact on the world: CuO NPs have potential to alleviate food scarcity by increasing crop production.  
\*Your environment sets your mood for the day: depending on the synthesis conditions, CuO NPs can have different morphologies (shapes)
