Nanotechnology
The Nanotechnology degree lasts 4 years, is studied in person and is known as a degree in Nanotechnology or Bachelor's degree in Nanotechnology.
What is nanotechnology and its applications?
Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a nanometric scale. Through the use of technology, atoms and molecules are precisely manipulated for the manufacture of products in small dimensions (Nanoscale / microscale).
What are nanotechnologies?
"Nanotechnologies" as well as "nanoscale technologies" is a set of research and applications whose common theme is their size.
Nanotechnology (in English the term is known as Nanotechnology) manipulates matter in very small dimensions of between 1 to 100 nanometers. “nano” is a prefix of the International System of Units, the origin of the word comes from Greek and means dwarf.
Nanotechnology incorporates knowledge of chemistry, biology, physics, to solve different problems.
What is the field of nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology produces nanotechnological goods and services in the areas of health, electronics, energy and the environment.
Many advances in nanoscience will be among the great technological breakthroughs that will change the world. Nanotechnology is present in traditional industry and also in the aerospace industry.
What tasks can a Nanotechnologist perform?
A Nanotechnology graduate has deep scientific knowledge that allows them to design prototypes, products or processes involving nanoparticulate materials for different areas in academic institutions, in research centers, in the public or private sector or independently as a consultant.
- Lead nanotechnological projects from a technical, financial, economic and commercial perspective.
- Evaluate legal and ethical aspects in nano-enterprises.
- Plan therapeutic strategies
- Develop new medical treatments, medicines and biomedical tools.
- Control the quality of nanoproducts.
- Evaluate investment projects in nanotechnology.
- Produce nanotechnological goods and services.
- Design and produce new products and services in nanoscale dimensions.
- Select processes for the production of nano-objects, nanodevices and nanosystems.
- Design and develop robots on a nanometric scale, or nanorobots that perform specific actions.
- Develop faster and smaller computers.
Applications of nanotechnology
- In Computing when producing nanoproducts.
- In food production for example in innovating packaging methods, nanoemulsions used to produce flavoring oils, sweeteners and others.
- In agricultural production and in transgenic foods.
