Nano science & Materials Chemistry

Nano science and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things which are used across all the other science fields such as chemistry, biology, materials science, physics and engineering. Nano science is the study and manipulation of materials at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales, where properties differ expressively at a larger scale. Nanotechnology is the characterisation, design, production and application of structures, devices and systems by controlling shape and size at nanometre scale. Understanding of physics and chemistry and processes at the Nano scale is relevant to all scientific disciplines, engineering and medicine, biotechnology, from chemistry and physics to biology, chemistry, automotive systems, aerospace and robotics. Materials chemistry involves the use of chemistry for the design and synthesis of materials with interesting or potentially useful physical characteristics, such as magnetic, optical, structural or catalytic properties
