The manipulation of atoms is done at a scale of 1 to 100 nanometers. But is it Physics, <a href=\"https:\/\/gostudyin-dev.com\/india\/study-in-uk\/popular-courses\/chemistry\/\">Chemistry<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/gostudyin-dev.com\/india\/study-in-uk\/study-guides\/best-biology-courses-uk\/\">Biology<\/a>? It is actually an amalgamation of all three.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">In layman\u2019s term, nanotechnology is the study of atoms and how they interact. Pick any object around you, your smartphone or even your T-shirt. Now think about what it does well and what it doesn\u2019t do well. Your shirt, for instance, makes you look great but if you wear your T-shirt on a hot summer day or while working out, the sweat will be visible on the shirt, but if its atoms are manipulated, you can produce a material which is sweatproof. Everything good or bad depends on the individual atoms. Nanotechnology helps understanding what is happening on the nanoscale.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 lang=\"en-GB\">Applications of Nanotechnology<\/h2>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">Nanotechnology is used in almost every industry but the main application of nanotechnology is in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ICT<\/li>\n<li>Automobiles<\/li>\n<li>Shipbuilding<\/li>\n<li>Aerospace and defence<\/li>\n<li>Food and drinks<\/li>\n<li>Consumer goods<\/li>\n<li>Life sciences<\/li>\n<li>Textiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Graduate Programmes in Nanotechnology<\/h2>\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">The UK currently invests over \u00a3650m into Nanotechnology <a href=\"https:\/\/gostudyin-dev.com\/india\/study-in-uk\/study-options\/research\/\">research<\/a>, with the following <a href=\"https:\/\/gostudyin-dev.com\/india\/study-in-uk\/institutes\/universities\/\">universities <\/a>receiving much of the funding which funnels through to their programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">University of Cambridge (\u00a327m funding) \u2013\u00a0<\/span><span lang=\"en-GB\">Master in Micro- and Nanotechnology Enterprise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">Imperial College London (\u00a319m) \u2013 MRes in Nanomaterials<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">University of Oxford (\u00a337m) \u2013 MSc in Nanotechnology for Medicine and Health Care<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">University of Manchester (\u00a38m) \u2013 Nanostructured Materials MSc by Research<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">University of Sheffield (\u00a321m) \u2013 MSc Nanomaterials and Material Science and MSc Nanoscale Science and Technology<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"en-GB\">University of Southampton (\u00a37.5m) \u2013 M.Sc.
