PHY 140 — Fundamentals of Nanotechnology I
Course introduces nanoscience and nanotechnology, incorporating topics in physics, chemistry and biology at the nanoscale. These include forces, fluidics, atoms and molecules, nanoscale structures and biological function at the nanoscale. Practical nanotechnology applications of pharmaceutical biotechnology and drug delivery will be highlighted that are relevant to local industry. Hands-on laboratory activities make use of dip-pen nanolithography, atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and nanoparticle characterization.
