Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
are emerging fields that originate from the interaction between different
scientific domains as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine and Pharmacy,
and their relationship with different Engineering fields as Electronics,
Chemistry and Material Engineering. This gives a strong interdisciplinary
character to these fields, which constitute new research and development
areas with an increasing activity at international level.
The
main objective in these fields is the knowledge and control of the
fundamental structure of matter at the nanoscale, and
their exploitation for the design and development of new products and
systems with potential incidence in a wide range of fields with
significant socio-economical impact, as:
Medicine
and Pharmacy
Food and Agricultural Industries
Aerospace industry
Information Society Technologies
Energy
Environmental Sciences
This Master involves Lecturers,
Professors and Researchers from groups with a significant activity in the
