Nano Science and Technology

Nano science and technology is the branch of science that studies systems and manipulates matter on atomic, molecular and supra molecular scales (the nanometre scale). On such a length scale, quantum mechanical and surface boundary effects turn out to be relevant, conferring properties on materials that are now not observable on larger, macroscopic length scales.

Nanotechnology, the manipulation of count at the atomic and molecular scale to create substances with remarkably different and new properties, is a swiftly increasing area of research with massive potential to revolutionize our lives and to supply technological solutions to our problems in agriculture, energy, the environment and medicine. In order to utterly understand this potential, we want to be able to manage the synthesis of nanoparticles, the development of nano-devices, and the characterization of materials on the nano scale and to understand the effects of these things on environment and health.
