Course description and aims
Nanotechnology, the leading edge of modern science and technology, was born in the early 80's with the invention of the scanning probe microscopy by Drs. Binnig and Rohrer, Nobel laureates of IBM Zurich. In this course, students will learn how it opened up a completely new window to the nanoscale world, and remains a challenging field in a wide variety of endeavors from solid state physics to molecular biology.
Student learning outcomes
In this course, students will understand and summarize the nanotechnology and nanoscience activities now underway in the world, and will find that each story presents an innovative state-of-the-art subject in modern nanotechnological research.
Keywords
