What Is A Career In Biotechnology Like?

Biotechnology is the integration of engineering and technology to the life sciences. Biotechnologists frequently use microorganisms or biological substances to perform specific processes or for manufacturing. Examples include the production of drugs, hormones, foods and converting waste products. There are many sub-branches involved in the biotech industry. A few of the more common branches include; molecular biology, genetic engineering, and cell biology. A new and exciting sub-branch requiring biotechnologists is the field of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology gives us the capability to engineer the tiniest of objects, things at the molecular level. Nano means a billionth of a specific unit...

DCC prepares for new academic year

DANVILLE – Danville Community College has a lot in store for first-time and returning students to the campus this fall. A brand new Student Center, new programs of study, and expanded course offerings are just some of the initiatives on tap for the start of the academic year. DCC’s fall semester classes begin August 23 and registration will continue through the first week of classes. Dr. Chris Ezell, Vice President of Academic and Student Services, says, in addition to opening the long-awaited Student Center, new programs of study include a completely online associate degree program in E-Commerce (Marketing); an Associate of Science in Engineering transfer degree, offered...

A Degree In Engineering Can Start An Exciting Career In Nanotechnology

If there truly is a form of research that can be called cutting edge, it’s nanotechnology. It’s mainly still in the research end of development, but the applications are starting to appear as you read this. With the capability of changing everything from space research to fighting cancer, now is the time to enter this form of engineering. This revolutionary and very young form of science revolves around the creation of nanites. These are machines so small they measure 100 nanometers or less, in other words barely the size of a molecule. This microscopic size allows these machines to literally work on the atomic level. If you are looking for more data about engineering degrees online...

Nanotechnology courses offered at Northwest Vista College

SAN ANTONIO – Assistant Professor and program coordinator Qiaoying Zhou from Northwest Vista College stopped by the SA Living Show to explain what nanotechnology is and how their program is run. Click here to watch… Professor Zhou explained that Nanotechnology is the study of science and engineering on a molecular scale. You can bet that brains are a huge part of this program that studies the molecular bases of products such as cosmetics, stain-resistance fabrics, anti-bacterial products and sports equipment. Northwest Vista offers three programs for nanotechnology. In just two years with basic biology, physics, and seven nanotechnology classes you qualify for an associate’s...

Nanotechnology In Cosmetics Products

Although you may not know the brand of cosmetics that you use for your face care contains ingredients with dimensions of nanoparticles (nanoingredients) able to penetrate your skin easily. What is nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is a field of applied science devoted to the control and manipulation of matter at a scale smaller than a micrometer ie the level of atoms and molecules (nano). Currently working on a range of one to one hundred nanometers (100-100 nm). Question of Size To get an idea of magnitudes we are talking about then are defined length units and establishing the relationships between them. The meter is the unit length of the International Unit System. It is called: m....

Applications of Nanotechnology- A general view

Applications of Nanotechnology- A general view By- Dr.Ratnam Challa Physicists all over the world are concentrating on application oriented Physics rather than Fundamental Physics. The Physics of the Nanoworld is the latest field of active research in this century. The last few years has seen a gold rush to claim patents at the nanoscale. Over 800 nano-related patents were granted in 2003, and the numbers are increasing year to year. Corporations are already taking out broad-ranging patents on nanoscale discoveries and inventions. Corporations like  NEC and IBM, hold the basic patents on carbon nanotubes, one of the current cornerstones of Nanotechnology. Carbon NanoTubes (CNT) have...

UK: University of Oxford – Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology

The University of Oxford is pleased to announce that there are a limited number of bursaries available for the Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology. The Postgraduate Certificate is a unique part-time, online course for those seeking a thorough introduction to the subject.  The course is ideally suited to full-time employees who seek to gain an academic qualification in the field of nanotechnology. It is taken predominantly online, meaning that it is accessible to anyone in the world with Internet access. We have been running the course for several years and the online Postgraduate Certificate in Nanotechnology has been successfully completed by students from a wide range of backgrounds:...

NanoCamp

CNSE and CMOST Partner to Host Summer NanoCamp as Part of “Girls in Science and Technology” Program Jul 20, 2010 Event Photos The effort to interest young women in the fields of science and technology received a boost on July 20 through a partnership between the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (“CNSE”) of the University at Albany and the Children’s Museum of Science and Technology (“CMOST”) that showcased the exciting world of nanotechnology. As part of CMOST’s “Girls in Science and Technology” camp, CNSE and CMOST jointly presented a Summer NanoCamp at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex, which provided an...

Foresight’s student award-winners go on to great things

Foresight Research Analyst and Technical Editor James Lewis has tracked the careers of those receiving Foresight’s student award.  Here are his findings on the careers of a few of these gifted young researchers: We at Foresight find it gratifying to track the subsequent careers of those who have won our nanotechnology-related prizes and awards, in this case the Foresight Distinguished Student Award, last made in 2007 to a Rice University graduate student, Fung-Suong Ou. Mr. Fung joins a distinguished group of winners who have launched impressive careers in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
