Course/Module description:
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology originally referred to materials with at least one dimension in the size range of 1-100 nanometres (100,000 smaller than the width of human hair) that gave materials new properties and new functionalities. The field emerged from the convergence of newly developed abilities in various scientific, technological and engineering fields in the last decades that merged together to a joint multi-discipline by scientists from various fields that yields a new promise for humanity. The course is aimed at the general academic audience. It will describe the new world of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and will shed light on selected methods and research topics within this field with an emphasis on the multidisciplinary nature of this field and its contribution to the development of technology and Industry.
Course/Module aims:
To introduce the new world of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to the general academic audience, to shed light on selected methods and research topics of this field, and explain the importance of Nanoscience and its contribution to humanity and industry.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
• Define Nanoscience as multidisciplinary new field and its characteristics;
• Present Nanoscience central research fields and general applications;
• Explain the central messages of the each one of the lectures and address questions regarding them
• Explain the importance of Nanoscience and its contribution to humanity and industry.
• Comprehend the central terms, methods, research directions towards the ability to communicate with people in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for the purpose of collaboration.
