Nanotechnology is the science dedicated to understanding and controlling materials at the nanoscale. It is the science of the very small - working on a scale of nanometres, a millionth of a millimetre. The capacity to manipulate matter at the level of nanometres offers enormous potential to revolutionize our lives by transforming areas such as energy production, manufacturing, communication technology, electronics and more. Specific examples that indicate the breadth of nanotechnology applications include: Semiconductors where it is hoped that very small components will continue the increase in computational speed predicted by Moore's Law. Chemical systems that expect nanotechnology to provide sophisticated sensors for chemicals at low concentrations with applications to biological systems. Biology, where biologists seek means of manipulating and sensing biological processes within cells. Where can Nanotechnology take me? New products and processes are developed where physics, chemistry, biology and engineering meet. Nanotechnology applications include computer technology, healthcare, sustainability and helping to make vehicles and machines faster, lighter and stronger. You can find work in roles such as physicist, chemist, space physicist or research scientist. Our graduates have been placed and employed in businesses such as SGS, Rio Tinto, Dulux, Starpharma, Air Services Australia, Crocodile Gold Corp., Australian Radiation Services, CETEC-Foray and the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering. Further study options You conduct research into specific topic within Nanotechnology by studying a one-year Bachelor of Sciences with Honours in Nanotechnology. Or if you want to further advance your knowledge, a Master of Nanotechnology could be your next step!
