ECE U608 - Nanotechnology in Engineering

Institution:

Northeastern University

Subject:

Description:

Explores a wide range of new technologies based on, or influenced by, breakthroughs in nanoscience. Includes such nanotechnologies (the refinement of functional properties of materials, devices, or systems that are in at least one dimension smaller than 100 nm) as spintronics, quantum computing, carbon nanotube electronics, nanoparticle cancer remediation strategies, biomolecular electronics, and nanomachines. A general goal is the engineering of new or enhanced macroscopic properties from nanostructure or nanoscale materials and components. Offers review of the scientific literature, classroom lecture, seminars by international leaders of nanotechnology, and student team projects to enable the student to become well versed in this important burgeoning field.
