Progress is sometimes slowed down by the different backgrounds of these people they speak different languages! What is needed is truly interdisciplinary approach to training, so that nanotechnologists can bridge the gaps between the traditional disciplines. Finally, the nanoscale is where biological processes occur.

Progress is sometimes slowed down by the different backgrounds of these people they speak different languages! What is needed is truly interdisciplinary approach to training, so that nanotechnologists can bridge the gaps between the traditional disciplines.

It is recognised that when matter is shrunk to tiny dimensions entirely new science emerges materials behave differently and in unexpected ways. Interdisciplinary research is widely recognised as where the next big breakthroughs will occur. All types of technology comes from the prospect of having complex nanomachines that can do everything from environmental cleanup to autonomous surgery.

Finally, the nanoscale is where biological processes occur. recent The discovery of carbon nanotubes, for example, has provided nanotechnology with an ideal building block. The outcome of this massive research effort will be new industries emerging in the next 510 years that will require nanotechnologists, so the longterm employment opportunities are equally exciting. Prof. However, when matter is shrunk to tiny dimensions entirely new science emerges materials behave differently and in unexpected ways. The dream of nanotechnology will only be realised when the challenge of how to assemble nanoscale materials into nanodevices is solved.

The outcome of this massive research effort will be new industries emerging in the next 510 years that will require nanotechnologists, so the longterm employment opportunities are equally exciting. Prof. Billions of dollars are being spent worldwide in the race to develop nanodevices and nanomaterials. lot of nanoscience is about synthesizing the nanoscale materials, but it is also important to assemble these nanocomponents into giant, functional networks. The emphasis of our course is the materials chemistry area, supported by foundation studies in physics, mathematics and engineering.
