1. Why Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology - A Future Technology with Visions

Nanotechnology is increasingly considered to be the future technology. Nanotechnology provides access to the world of the smallest things. The possible applications of this technology are immense. Nanotechnology is dealing with research and the construction in the sphere of very small structures: one nanometre is one millionth of a millimetre. Moreover it is playing with the atoms. The worldwide need for nanotechnology workers is expected to reach 2 million by 2015.

President of India Dr. A.P.J. Kalam has already taken up big initiative to increase the human resource in this emerging field. It's our turn to become the leader in this technology because revolution in Information Technology has come up only after Indians has taken this seriously.

News article comment:-

"There is an important message here for all of us to nurture young talent for all scientific research work, particularly in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. With 540 million youth in India, we have to hone skills of youth at the graduate, post-graduate and Ph.D levels,”
By Mr. Kalam

The software which comprises our nanotechnology tool kit is based on state-of-the-art algorithms developed during years of close collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians. While incorporating the latest approaches in the field, our computer software also has a friendly and intuitive graphical user interface. Setting up and analyzing complex calculations using the standard default settings is straightforward and easy, however we encourage our users to probe the underlying physics and chemistry of the model by using a battery of different approaches and methods. We provide recommendations on the proper choice of methods and approximations and offer expert consultation in the field. The judicious application of the complex methodology, which is built into the computer code, is far from trivial, and therefore, we strongly recommend that our customers work jointly with our experts on the first (trial) problem.

Nano & Giga Solutions is not a software company, which would tell you that its software can solve all your problems (it never does!). We will advise you on how to build your own war chest of software tools and provide expert opinion on the best practices applicable to your needs. We are oriented on minimizing the costs of your research, while maximizing the results through joint work with our project teams. Our world-wide network of consultants and seasoned experts allows us to address very complex problems and offer solutions. Rather than having you hire a dozen expensive "rocket scientists" only to find out that you are not able to keep them busy for years ahead, we can offer you help and insight when and where you actually need it at a fraction of the cost, so you can conserve your resources, and direct them where they are essential. Problem and cost analysis is one of our services and we will offer it by using experts available to us world-wide to best match your needs and to save you money. Using our services will allow you to explore the scale of the project and gain important initial insight before committing to a large scale investment.

Our company has contracts and consulting agreements with world-class experimental facilities and we can help you in developing the most advanced patentable technologies. Our consultants, scientists and engineers, will help you with the introduction of new technologies and building of pilot lines. We offer detailed studies, including evaluation and verification of your concept and assumptions, especially when you may have limited abilities to conduct the necessary tests and/or lack of appropriate equipment or expertise. With our broad world-wide network of consultants and contractors in well equipped laboratories and software development centers we can help you in creating specially tailored software or experimental tools, run series of experiments, and request expert evaluation and feasibility studies of your proposals and projects to ensure that you have a full and unbiased picture before you invest in equipment and negotiate costly contracts or assess your human resources needs.
