Nanoscience Fundamentals

• Basic understanding of the physical laws and effects in the nano-world
• Basic knowledge of Nanoscience fields

Audience

• Scientists
• Anyone interested in Nanoscience

Nanoscience is the study of structures and materials on an ultra-small scale. It combines science, engineering, and technology to study matter and processes at the nanoscale. The nanoscale is based on the nanometer, a unit of length equivalent to one billionth (10-9) of a meter. Nanotechnology can be applied in all fields of science, including chemistry, geology, biology, physics, engineering, and materials science.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at scientists and anyone interested to learn about the basics of Nanoscience and its applications.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the field of nanosciences and nanotechnologies.
• Differentiate those in the nano range from those in the micro range.
• Know the fundamental theory of electron and energy transfer.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
