Course description
This course introduces foundations of nanoscience at the undergraduate level. At the beginning of the course you will be given a brief summary of the basic science needed to understand matter at the nanoscale. Afterwards, you will learn about nanofabrication and characterization methods. In this course you will also learn about various developing nanotechnologies such as bionanotechnology, nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. Introduction to nanomechanics and nanofluidics will also be given.
Purpose of class
The aim of this course is to help students understand basics of nanoscience and become familiar with emerging nanotechnologies. This course is directed to undergraduate students having interest in chemistry, materials science and electrical- and bioengineering.
