Small-Scale Engineering with Big Impact

Nanotechnology is the study of technical materials and devices on the smallest scale. Being small allows manufacturers to add more to a piece of technology than ever before.

Nanotechnology involves the study of electrical materials processing, electrical characterization and transport in nanostructures. Nanostructures have applications in solar cells, efficient lighting, and high-speed transistors for smart phones and autonomous vehicle radars, biomedical implants, and more.
