Nanotechnology: Bringing things down to size
Noah Clay ’97 talks about some of the equipment he works with at the Cornell Nanoscale Science and Technology Facility in Ithaca. Read more in the Fall 2010 issue of Oswego magazine.

Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices within that size range. It is a highly multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as applied physics, materials science, interface and colloid science, device physics, supramolecular chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Much speculation exists as to what new science and technology may result from these lines of research. Nanotechnology can be seen as an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of existing sciences using a newer, more modern term. www.majarikanayakan.com
