What Is Nanoscience?
Nanoscience and Technology program is an interdisciplinary science program designed for students interested in developing and manipulating materials at the molecular level. In the first two years students will build strong background in basic sciences; Physics, Chemistry and Biology before getting more specialized during the last two years in the field of study of their own choice. This will enrich their knowledge and allow them to work independently or within multidisciplinary teams .
Nanotechnology is the study of any science at the nanoscale. It is a big umbrella that covers wide range of applications.For instance, Nanomedicine produces nanomaterials such as gold nanorods, nanofibers to help cure disease. Nanoelectronics develop all smart electronics that we use these days from phones and computers to medical robots that can invade our bodies to perform surgical operations. Food and agricultural industry that use novel nanosized products to improve food product quality and features.
Nanotechnology proved to be capable of affecting everything in our life. It has applications that is involved in energy generation, drug synthesis and development, food industry, fabric and cloth production, hair dyes and beauty industry, beds and bedding improvement. It has an impact on everything in our day to day life.
