Nanotechnology is increasingly important in our modern world. Topics will include nanoscale imaging by electron, tunneling, and atomic force microscopy. We study the unique properties of nanomaterials including carbon nanotubes and graphene. We explore microelectromechanical systems and nanoelectromechanical systems, nanoscale computer simulation, nanoelectronics, nanosensors, and nanorobotics. We also discuss applications in medicine, drugs, and energy.
