Nano Technology courses

About Nanoscience: Chemical Sciences in Trinity College Dublin

Students who apply to the Chemical Sciences Stream (TR061) may select Nanoscience as their specialist area for the 3rd and 4th years at the end of the second year provided they take Physics as their approved modules in the first two years. It is also possible to enter Nanoscience through the Physical Sciences stream (TR063).

What is Nanoscience?

Creation of new technologies and devices would not be possible without mastery of advanced materials at the nanoscale. Making devices at the nanoscale can reduce energy costs while increasing speed or adding functionality. Nanodevices may behave in novel ways, not simply miniature versions of macroscopic devices. Nanoscience incorporates applications in energy conversion and storage, photonics, medical diagnostics, ultra-fast electronics and other areas including polymers, lasers, and optoelectronics, and industries such as electronics, telecommunications, healthcare and aerospace. Students in Nanoscience learn the basic physics and chemistry underlying these applications and how they relate to these applications and industries.

Nanoscience: The course for you?

If you enjoy laboratory work and have the desire to apply your scientific skills to the latest technologies that shape our world, then this may be the course for you.

Nanoscience at Trinity

Studying Nanoscience at Trinity offers you the opportunity to learn from world-leading experts based in the Schools of Physics and Chemistry, and in CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nano devices), which is Ireland’s research centre for nanoscale materials. This degree will teach you how to use and apply principles of chemistry and physics to solve practical problems associated with the development of new technologies and their application to nanoscience.
