Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is making things at an incredibly small scale and is one of the most exciting and fast moving areas of Science today. Some nanomaterials are naturally occurring, you can find them everywhere, in volcanic ash, ocean spray, fine sand and dust. Naturally-occurring nanostructures are also present in plants and animals.
With Nanotechnology, scientists can create nanostructures themselves nowadays, by rearranging the atoms of an object, they can make new nanomaterials with new properties that are stronger, lighter, or different in color. Their properties also change with time and that is where the power of nanotechnology can be gauged. Food technologists are working to create novel products that may be of benefit to health and diet. For example, the nanosilver particle has antibacterial properties that can be used in food contact material such as cutting boards, food supplements. 
Also, there are nanosensors in the touchscreen phones we use today that use the heat from our fingers to unlock the screen every day. So, the nanocomponents and atomic-level molecules can do wonders if used in a sensible, safe, and experimental manner.

Nanotechnology is an exciting and fast moving field that can be used to reshape the world around us. Everything on earth is made up of atoms, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the buildings and houses we live in, our ow bodies. How different atoms in a structure are arranged determines pretty much what everything around us does. The properties of things also change when they are made smaller. This is what Nanotechnology courses deal with.

Nanotechnology courses teach students how matter can be manipulated and organized at the nanoscale, enabling nanotechnologists to adjust material properties for increased efficiency. You can make new nanomaterials with new properties by rearranging the atoms of an object. This technology is used across various work sectors to experiment and come up with something smart and unique.

To further enhance cutting-edge research in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the Centre of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology was founded on the University campus in January 2006. The center is a project of the Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, which is being considered a university. The fields of nanomaterials, nanotechnology, nanocomposites, nanoelectronics, and nanofabrication are at the forefront of research. The center not only conducts research but also workshops, national and international conferences, training programs, and awareness campaigns on current breakthroughs in nanoscience related to a range of national interest topics. In addition to taking on research and development projects from other organizations, the center provides consulting services to businesses and international research groups.
