Welcome to the Nanotechnology web gateway at the University of New South Wales.

Nanotechnology is the science of understanding the structure and behaviour of materials at the atomic or molecular level. Through an understanding of how to manipulate atoms and molecules it is possible to create devices and machines with unique properties and applications. The power to control and exploit atomic structure provides the potential to dramatically transform the world around us.

There are projects under way, for example, to develop atomic-size computer devices on silicon chips, or to build molecules that can sense particular bacteria or viruses, or catalyst powders that can use sunlight to control pollutants.

Nanotechnology is a broad field of study and research that involves co-operation across many schools including physics, chemistry, BABS, materials and other research centres such as the centre for Quantum computing. This gateway seeks to bring together access to all these schools and centres by providing a catalogue of and links to their information.

This gateway will also provide unique information for the undergraduate program BSc (Nanotechnology), a four year full time professional degree provided by the Faculty of Science at the University of New South Wales.

An overview of Nanotechnology at UNSW and introduction is found >>here...

For enquiries regarding the BSc (Nanotechnology) program please contact the program co-ordinator Dr S.L.I. Chan.

NANOSOC was formed in 2005. A complete overhaul of www.nanotech.unsw.edu.au is now taking place incorporating NANOSOC and its activities.

Please be patient as we undergo these renovations.
