{"ModuleCode":"GEK1509","ModuleTitle":"Introduction to the Nanoworld","Department":"Physics","ModuleDescription":"The essence of nanoscience and technology is the ability to understand and manipulate matter at the molecular level. Structures behave differently when their dimensions are reduced to the range of between one and a few hundred nanometres (1 nanometre = 10-9 metre). Such structures exhibit novel and much-improved mechanical, electrical, optical, chemical and biological properties, due entirely to their nanoscopic size. The nanoworld is therefore an exciting new realm that brings together the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and engineering. The aim of this module is to familiarise students with the main issues and techniques relevant to the nanometre scale. Questions that will be addressed include: What is the significance of the nanoscale? What measurement techniques allow us to examine such systems? How can we fabricate objects and devices on the nanometre scale? What are the examples of fascinating nanosystems? How will nanodevices and nanomaterials change our lives in the future? This module is targeted at students from different faculties who are interested in learning some general knowledge of nanoscience and nanotechnology.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"2.5-0.5-0-3-4","Preclusion":"Students majoring in Physics and Engineering are not allowed to take this module","Types":["GEM"],"Lecturers":["Andrivo Rusydi"],"IVLE":[{"Announcements":null,"Forums":[],"Workbins":[],"Webcasts":[],"Gradebooks":[],"Polls":[],"Multimedia":[],"LessonPlan":[],"ID":"bcb24331-07a2-4519-a1cb-8a26cb11e7c9","CourseLevel":"1","CourseCode":"GEK1509","CourseName":"INTRODUCTION TO THE NANOWORLD","CourseDepartment":"","CourseSemester":"Semester 2","CourseAcadYear":"2014/2015","CourseOpenDate":"/Date(1415116800000+0800)/","CourseOpenDate_js":"2014-11-05T00:00:00","CourseCloseDate":"/Date(1431187140000+0800)/","CourseCloseDate_js":"2015-05-09T23:59:00","CourseMC":"0","isActive":"N","Permission":"S","Creator":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Andrivo Rusydi","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"61e9ee12-7f84-469f-a465-8968120a4ece","AccountType":null},"hasGradebookItems":true,"hasTimetableItems":true,"hasGroupsItems":false,"hasClassGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasGuestRosterItems":false,"hasClassRosterItems":true,"hasWeblinkItems":false,"hasLecturerItems":true,"hasDescriptionItems":true,"hasReadingItems":true,"hasAnnouncementItems":false,"hasProjectGroupItems":false,"hasProjectGroupsForSignUp":false,"hasConsultationItems":false,"hasConsultationSlotsForSignUp":false,"hasLessonPlanItems":false,"Badge":0,"BadgeAnnouncement":0,"WebLinks":[],"Lecturers":[{"ID":"a1f98e20-c975-4b21-accb-059644adf7af","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Andrivo Rusydi","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"61e9ee12-7f84-469f-a465-8968120a4ece","AccountType":null},"Role":"Lecturer ","Order":1,"ConsultHrs":null},{"ID":"10f01adc-55f9-4418-8fef-d0d05afdc455","User":{"UserID":null,"Name":"Qiu Leiju","Email":null,"Title":null,"UserGuid":"1146b0e0-be82-4d29-9305-56d33bc105aa","AccountType":null},"Role":"Teaching Assistant ","Order":2,"ConsultHrs":null}],"Descriptions":[{"ID":"eaaa4208-93e9-4684-a741-bb5c7473102e","Title":"Course Description","Description":"The essence of nanoscience and technology is the ability to understand and manipulate matter at extremely small sizes, to create artificial structures with fundamentally new molecular organization. Structures behave differently when their dimensions are reduced to the range of one to a hundred nanometers (1 nanometer = 10-9 meter). These structures exhibit superior mechanical, electrical, optical, chemical and biological properties. They also show novel properties (e.g. meta-materials) which are not observed with regular materials. This happens entirely due to their nanoscopic size.
\n
\nOnce we can control feature sizes on the nanometer length scale, it is possible to enhance material properties and device functions beyond those that we presently know or even consider possible. The nanoworld is therefore an exciting new realm that brings together the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. As this new millennium begins, nanoscience and technology’s impact on society is expected to be at least as significant as the combined influence that antibiotics, integrated circuits and polymers had in the twentieth century.
