Nanoscience
Nanoscience is the study of materials, phenomena, properties, and applications at the smallest length scale at which we can control matter. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, just slightly larger than individual atoms. Nanoscience and nanotechnology have rapidly growing applications in a wide range of technology areas including electronics, information technology, medicine, renewable energy, aerospace, and advanced materials.
The federal government created the National Nanotechnology Initiative () in 2000, which has invested more than $25 billion in research and development. The Bachelor鈥檚 degree program in Nanoscience at 澳门六合彩平台网站投注 is聽one of only two such programs in the U.S.
