Features of the profession

Nanotechnologists create new materials with a well-defined atomic structure.

The direction of nanotechnology covers an interdisciplinary field located at the junction of fundamental and applied areas of science and technology. Recently, this direction has become relevant because nanotechnology is the most profound and directed intervention in the structure of matter today. This is a qualitatively new level of accuracy.

The principle of creating nanomaterials at the level of manipulation of individual atoms allows us to obtain properties that cannot be achieved by traditional methods involving chemical reactions involving portions of matter consisting of billions of atoms.

Important qualities

The profession of a nanotechnologist implies an interest in research work, an analytical mindset.

The duties of a nanotechnologist include:

- development of innovative products from the first stage to the last;

- improvement of finished products;

- development of projects, planning of the manufacturing process of innovative products;

- solving technological problems;

- conducting research on key areas of work and preparing reports based on them;

- monitoring of world achievements in the field under study;
