Introduction

It is a technology that creates small materials on the scale of molecules by manipulating single atoms. The term ‘Nano’ comes from the size of molecules measured in nanometers, or one billionth of a meter.

Description

It impacts all major sectors, like solar energy, aerospace, environment, telecommunications and computing. The influence of nanotechnology on new product development areas ranges from electronics and information technology to medical devices and cosmetics and from science to entertainment. (Computers, cell phones, laptops, PDA, digital cameras and MP3 players. Nanoparticles are integrated in existing products like paints, papers and polymers)

The progress in nanotechnology has been leading to the development of super-high density data storage and super-high speed microprocessors, memory chips and novel nanodevices.

In medical science it offers intelligent drug delivery systems that will search out and destroy cancer tumors too small for conventional surgery

Programs

To become a successful professional in the specified field of nanotechnology, it is important that you should have an M.Tech. degree in the subject.

For M.Tech course:- Bachelors in Physics, Chemistry or Biotechnology.

Nanotechnology as a Bachelor’s degree course is not offered at any reputed institute in India. It is a multi-disciplinary and applied field, a M.Tech in Mechanical, Chemical, Electronic, Biotechnology, Computer Science .

For PhD Course:- An MSc in Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Biotechnology, Computer Science qualifies one for the PhD programme.

Companies

It has application in all field so whichever companies has Research oriented Production Designs recruits students with Post Graduates in Nanotechnology.

*Mechanical engineers design, produce and test machines, instruments, controls, engines, and mechanical, thermal or heat transfer systems.

*Chemical engineers perform a variety of functions in the field of nanotechnology. These are: synthesis, functionalisms, characterizations, and optimization of materials. They develop non-material assembly processes, create test protocols, and prepare reports.

*Materials engineers design methods to change natural substances into new, stronger, and more resistant materials with unique properties.

Countries

As lot of research is involved in this subject countries like “ Germany, Sweden, Canada, USA, Netherlands” gives a solid platform for the students to develop in a good research fields with varied applications in all fields.
