Description: In this course, students take a journey to a newly discovered world, the world of miniaturized machines called nanomachines (also called nanites) which represent one of the most fascinating topics in of nanotechnology, the technology of design, fabrication and applications of nanomaterials (with a size of one billionth of a meter).
A nanomachine is a mechanical or electromechanical device whose dimensions are of the order of nanometers. The microscopic size of nanomachines translates into high operational speed, tiny amount of energy to operate and durability for centuries before breaking down.
One example of nanomachines is a nanorobot which might be designed not only to diagnose, but also to treat disease conditions perhaps by seeking out invading bacteria and viruses and destroying them.
These tiny devices provide diverse opportunities towards a wide range of potential applications in different areas, such as medicine and drugs, energy, cosmetics, defense and security, optical engineering, bio-engineering, environment, electronics and so on.”
