NANO4888: Applied Nanotechnology Project
2024 unit information
Nanotechnological solutions like smart clothing, graphene ear buds, supercapacitors, nanobots, point-of-care devices, neurointerfaces or fully integrated pacemakers will be ubiquitous in the future. This unit will provide students with a realistic experience of modern Nanotechnology, providing a multidisciplinary, hands-on experience on nanoscience-based problems that can generate a nanotechnological solution. You will deepen your knowledge of the advances in Physics, Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at the nanoscale by pre-determined nanotechnological problems that you will solve in groups with complementary skill sets. For example, you will learn how to develop a Quantum Dot based LED enhanced by metallic nanoparticles or how to develop a plasmonic biosensor. By doing this unit, you will develop the skills needed to create the Nanotechnology of the future. In this unit students will work in groups to tackle and solve a Nanotechnology problem. The group will mimic approaches of multidisciplinary research and development centres. You will be guided and assessed through various stages of your project by planning and completing a series of tasks throughout the semester. The understandings and skills learnt in this unit, will enable you to play a role in finding nanoscience solutions to the global challenges that impact our lives.
