Nanoscience and nanotechnology, science and technology at nanoscale, have been explored not only in basic research but also in application nowadays. In this lecture, the students can understand nanoscience and nanotechnology from the point of view of chemistry and can have the ability to implement ideas of the cutting-edge research from the association of the studied knowledge with those in the field of their respective research.

Skill of Hearing and reading in English is required since this lecture is conducted in English.
Though the question from students in Japanese is available, the answer from the lecturer is in English in principle.

Discussion Debate／Presentation／Support for self-learning using ICT

The followings are the topics in this lecture;
1. The phenomena at nanoscale
2. Analyses at nanoscale
3. Manipulation of single atom and molecule at nanoscale
4. Recent topics on nanoscience and nanotechnology.
At the final exam, the students should have a presentation in English in 10 minutes on their chosen topics related to this lecture, and have the discussion for 5 minutes (in English as much as possible).

50% evaluation by a report (Japanese available); The subject of the report should be related with the topics on this lecture, and at the rest 50% by the presentation and the following discussion in English, as shown in the lecture schedule.

Report assignments will be critiqued individually through KU-LMS, and the oral examination in English will be conducted by question and answer session.

No textbook in this lecture. The slides and the documents using in the lecture are distributed from KU-LMS website.

Sending questions via e-mail or KU-LMS is always welcome.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology came under spotlight thanks to the invention of scanning probe microscope. Lots of knowledges in basic science and technology in physics, chemistry, biology, and precise mechanical engineering are necessary to understand this lecture. This lecture will bring the students the sophistication to think deeply in the various fields of science and technology at nanoscale.

Applicable

The lecturer is able to give a talk about the front line of research, by showing the various experiences that occurred before and after the establishment of the company.
