Think of a sport. Any sport. Nanotechnology is paving the future for that sport. Well, hopefully. There are a lot of sports that you could have thought of. But from hockey to tennis, or swimming to golf, nanotechnology has made an impact...
What is the current degree that you are working towards?Hi! My name is Michael Hanley and I’m currently enrolled in the Nanotechnology Engineering Program at the University of Waterloo, and I will be graduating in 2025.Why did you choose to...
Protecting the environment is one of the biggest uses of nanotechnology. Most pollutants, especially in the water or air, exist on the nanoscale. Therefore, nanotechnology is effective in reducing air and water pollution, and can even be used to...
MIT.nano is an open-access, service-oriented facility, located in the heart of MIT, with the purpose of exploring nanotechnology. “Any faculty member, researcher, and student—as well...
The Washington Nanofabrication Facility (WNF) is an open-access, nanofabrication facility at the University of Washington that is also a part of the UW Institute for Nano-engineered...
Rice University is one of the US’s leading wide-spectrum research universities located in Houston, Texas. Under their Department of Materials Science & NanoEngineering (MSNE)...
Wayne State University, located in Detroit, Michigan, offers a very unique type of nanoengineering program known as an undergraduate certificate. “The undergraduate nanoengineering...
Carbon Nanotubes are cylindrical molecules made up of rolled-up sheets of graphene. These nanotubes can either be single-walled with a diameter of merely 1 nanometer, or multi-walled consisting of many linked nanotubes with diameters...
Quantum dots or QDs are man-made nanoscale crystals that can transport electrons. As UV light hits these semiconducting nanoparticles, they emit light of varying colors. If these...
Graphene is one of the most popular nanomaterials that people often use and refer to. Specifically, it is a single layer, also known as a monolayer, of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. You have probably heard...
