Nanotechnology - The future for science students

For around half hour today I was browsing the Internet for Nanotech news... and yes it was on office time. I was quiet astonished on the kind of development that has been done on this front.

 

It all started after reading a blog written in the Leading Edge Forum - a forum maintained by CSC for internal publishing. http://www.csc.com/ee/lef/

 

 

After reading I realized that for the next 50 years or so there is immense scope of research related work in Nanotechnology.

 

Last year there was report that the Chinese government had huge plans for Nanotechnology http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/02/the-chinese-gov.html#previouspost

 

So how do our students get themselves started in Nanotechnology. Are there any courses in India? A simple Google search left me baffled that there are lot of course conducted by our countries various universities and research organizations

 

Amity University:
