What about nanotechnology ?
Manipulation of single atoms
Source: IBM
Logical gate created with single atoms
Nanoscopy (high-res microscopy)
Neurofilaments in human neuroblastoma Substantial increase in resolution can be observed
Building structures
Atomic force microscopy
Deflection signal is used to maintain a constant force on the sample (feedback loop)
The tip is raster-scanned across the surface to create an image
Deflection of the cantilever is measure using optical deflection
Nanoparticles Sun screen
Long-shaped Ti nanoparticles are present as well as square shaped (presumably Si) nanoparticles.

What is nanotechnology ?
Definition Nanotechnology aims at the design and creation of functional materials, structures, devices and systems through direct control of matter on the nanometer length scale and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties on this length scale. The length scale is usually defined as smaller than 100 nm, depending on the physical and chemical characteristics of the particular system that undergoes quantitative and qualitative changes when the length scale boundary is crossed. Nanotechnology research and development includes controlled manipulation of individual molecules and nano-scale structures and their integration into larger material components, systems and architectures. Within these larger scale assemblies the control and construction of their structures and components remains at the nanometer scale. Essential in nanotechnology is to have a direct control of matter either between two nano-objects, or between a micro (or macro) object and a nanoobject.
Why nanotechnology ? Nanotechnology will affect almost every aspect of our lives Nanotechnology is an enabling technology !!! (like: the Internet, internal combustion engine, electricity) Impact on society will be broad and often unanticipated Nanotechnology is truly multidisciplinary: - Physics - Chemistry - Electrical engineering - Life sciences
The MSc Nanotechnology Objective Provide a master education for students as a preparation for a position in an interdisciplinary research environment either within academia (PhD project in nanotechnology) or industry
