Nanoscience is considered the cornerstone of future science and technology covering every aspect of human life from health and medicine (implantable biocompatible devices to minor and cure diseases) to autonomous systems (neuromorphic chips) to quantum information processing devices (quantum computers, quantum internet). This unit provides a more in-depth knowledge of modern Nanoscience, deepening your knowledge of the advances in Physics, Chemistry and Biomedical Engineering at the nanoscale. You will be immersed in ideas from experts and leaders in the fields of nanoscience, as invited Guest Lecturers. By undertaking this unit, you will develop an up-to-date and deep overview of the research which constitutes the epicentre of modern nanoscience and the cornerstone of the future Nanotechnology. For example, by learning the electrical, mechanical and optical properties of graphene as well as the latest scientific endeavours in Nanophotonics, Nanocatalysis and Tissue Engineering it will be stimulated in developing future and commercial Nanotechnological solutions. This will enable you to play a role in finding nanoscience solutions to global challenges that impact our lives.
