Nanotechnology is the branch
of knowledge that is engaged in the extremely minute; the scale of a few atoms
and molecules. The nano-world is fascinating
because at this scale materials suddenly take on surprising and completely novel
properties. This page provides all kinds of
information you can use for study projects or lectures.
Also included is information
on the nanotechnology master’s programme; a programme that takes you into the world of the extremely minute. This programme can be followed by students who
have completed a technical bachelor’s degree programme.
MESA+ boasts an advanced
NanoLab with a floor area of 1250 square metres! The building itself is completely free from all vibrations given that
the most slight vibration – caused for instance by a car driving along the road
outside – can damage nano-products. The researchers
wear white gear, gloves, caps and masks while in the laboratory. This is not because the nanomaterials they work
with are hazardous, but to prevent flakes of skin or hair from damaging the
nanostructures production process. Would you like
to visit this unique laboratory? You can! The options for doing so can be found on this
page.
