General description and relevant information The overall objective of the subject is to introduce the basic concepts of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. We introduce the scientific principles that explain the appearance of new properties displayed by nanostructures and nanomaterials. We study the processes to design and produce nanostructures, their manufacture, processing and modification. We also describe the main physical and biochemical properties at nanoscopic scale and the techniques for characterization of nanostructured materials. The main applications of nanostructured materials and systems in the field of science and engineering (medicine, energy, catalysis, tissue product design and process of life) are also reviewed. Finally, the social impact of nanotechnology and future prospects are covered.
