[M. Agarwal] Nanotechnology is creation of material devices and systems through the understanding
and control of matter at the dimension of nano-skin that is one, two hundred nanometer,
and at that dimensions, the functionalities and property of matter changes, and we can
use that for many areas of application. So, this is a nanotechnology discovery summer
day camp, and here the high school students are provided with an opportunity to explore
the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology as we all know that nanotechnology is just
becoming very essential, not only in engineering, science, and medicine, but also in many other
disciplines. So, they come here for a week and explore
what is nanotechnology, learn how to define nanotechnology, and what are the applications
to fabricate and test solar cell, to test fuel cells for energy application, to fabricate
and test micro nano-fluidic devices that can be used as “lab on a chip”, where you
can convert an entire lab onto a small chip, so that we can use less test samples to determine
any reagents or analyze, so that’s what they are doing here today.
