STEM CAREERS, TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION
What can you do with the nanoscale? This video shows us all the possibilities of how operating at the nanoscale can open up a whole new world in the advancement of science and technology.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE
The word nano is from the Greek word “Nanos”, which means dwarf. Nanoscience works on a scale 1000 times smaller than anything that can be seen with an optical microscope, which is the microscope you most likely use in your science classroom.
Nanoscience is an fascinating study using physical science, chemistry, physics, biology, environmental science and engineering. The career opportunities are equally diverse. Nano is all about the very small things in life, the stuff beyond what your eyes can see. How small is small? One hair on your head is between 50,000 and 100,000 in diameter.
The nanoscale is based on the nanometre, which is one billion times smaller than a meter. In fact, because nano is a prefix, it always means one billionth of the unit connected. A nanosecond is one billionth of a second, a nanogram is; you guessed it! One billionth of a gram.
When working on the small scale of nano, new materials and devices are developed by manipulating individual atoms and molecules. By manipulating these small structures you can change the properties of the material creating new materials with many applications. Although nano is small it has the potential to make big impacts. By working with nanomaterial you could conquer global issues such as cleaning unsafe drinking water, detecting cancer, and building faster technologies.
