Nanoscience brings together Physical and Biological Sciences in the realm of the very small. Nanotechnology is a new area that builds on understandings in the fields of Physics, Chemistry and Biology and promises to bring us new devices that will revolutionise many areas of our technology. The course has a substantial practical component. Students will have the opportunity for hands on investigations of nanoscale materials using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, Surface Spectroscopy and other forms of microscopy. They will also have the chance to study nanoscale mechanisms in biological systems.
