Introduction to Nanotechnology

Catalog description

Nanotechnology is the science and engineering involved in the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices with the size in nanometer (10-9m) scale. As a newly emerged exciting high-technology, it has attracted intensive interest and heavy investments around the world. Nanotechnology is a general-purpose technology which will have significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society. It can offer better built, longer lasting, cleanser, safer and smarter products for home, communications, medicine, transportation, agriculture and many other fields. This course will cover basic concepts in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
