International Institute of Information Technology, Pune

M.S. in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (MSNN) Admission 2010
The information age owes its origin to shrinking of devices dimensions. Nature inherently has things operating in nano to femto dimensions. The science of small things and the technology involving the assembly of atoms and molecules to create devices, systems and machines is revolutionizing every sphere of human life in general. Nanotechnology by its nature is interdisciplinary. Chemists, physicists, biologists, and engineers all have roles to play in the development and implementation of Nanotechnology. The development includes controlled manipulation of individual molecules and nano-scale structures and their integration into larger material components, systems and architectures. Within these larger scale assemblies the control and construction of their structures and components remains at the nanometer scale. Essential in nanotechnology is to have a direct control of matter either between two nano-objects, or between a micro (or macro )object and a nano-object. This program covers broad range of biological sciences, semiconductor device fabrication to applications in medicine and other spin off applications. The focus of the program will be on theoretical foundation and experimental techniques necessary to pursue scientific investigation in rapidly evolving areas required by young researchers to enter the world of miniaturization.
