42-772 Special Topics: Applied Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Have you ever wondered what is nanoscience and nanotechnology and their impact on our lives In this class we will go through the key concepts related to synthesis including growth methodologies and characterizations techniques and chemicalphysical properties of nanomaterials from zerodimensional 0D materials such as nanoparticles or quantum dots QDs, onedimensional materials such as nanowires and nanotubes to twodimensional materials such as graphene. The students will then survey a range of applications of nanomaterials through problemoriented discussions, with the goal of developing design strategies based on basic understanding of nanoscience. Examples include, but are not limited to, biomedical applications such as nanosensors for DNA and protein detection, nanodevices for bioelectrical interfaces, nanomaterials as building blocks in tissue engineering and drug delivery, and nano materials in cancer therapy. Prerequisite Graduate standing. College level chemistry or physical chemistry, and thermodynamics.
