Nanotechnology (Masters)

On the scale of individual atoms, substances develop completely new properties. As a result, hardly imaginable new products can be developed or existing applications can be improved. This makes nanotechnology one of the most important research areas of the 21st century.

Nanoparticles are already keeping textiles sterile, transporting medication through our bloodstream and making implants better tolerated by the body. But that's just the beginning: In the areas of optical technologies, semiconductor technology, but also energy technology and bio and environmental technology, there are countless new application possibilities.

The master's degree in nanotechnology at the WHZ combines various areas of physics, chemistry, materials engineering, electrical engineering and medicine. The focus is on a strong practical relevance and current tasks in high-tech industry and research. The main focus is on the functionalization of surfaces, nanostructuring, miniaturization strategies and the application of micro-systems from microelectronics, microsystem, nano and surface technology.
