Bachelor of Science - Nanoscience - Nanoscale Chemistry

Program Description

The comprehensive major in nanoscience is the study of structures in nanometer size which is smaller than cells but larger than most molecules. At Northwest, this interdisciplinary major focuses on providing practical laboratory experiences, isolating DNA, and synthesizing nanoparticles to construct solar cells.

Nanoscale chemistry focuses on utilizing nanomaterials for drug delivery systems, carbon nanotubes, dye-sensitized solar cells, and semiconductor nanowires. This major continues to evolve as chemists use their skills in synthesis and chemical modification, and employ state-of-the-art instrumentation and technology to characterize and manipulate nanostructures.
