nanotechnology at vit university


VIT is one of the first Institutes in the Country which started an M.Tech. Nanotechnology course with specific emphasis to Nano-Electronics, Nano-Photonics, Nano-Lithography, MEMS and NEMS and Bio-Electronics applications. These areas have far reaching implications for the emerging developments globally as all research, design and applications are being steered in these areas.
