Top products from r/nanotech

The nanofield is currently dominated by doctors so you may have to get a PHD. Still the field will see steady growth for decades to come. There is tons of room for innovation and growth in the quantum rhelm.

On the subject of pchem, knowing the concepts and ideas are vital. Nano materials are heavily dominated by kenetics - controlling how a nanotube grows is vital to a good end product. You probably won't need a photographic memory of all those equations from pchem, but you will need to have a good grasp of the concepts.

My advisor taught a class in nanomaterials (and was heavily involved in the field) and if you want to look at a book that will give you a grasp of what you are in for check it out:

If you're looking for a textbook type thing:

Introduction to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology - Hornyak

Was pretty much the gold standard for nano stuff back when I was in grad school. Although it's like 4-5 years old now, and stuff is probably outdated.

My post-doc advisor wrote a great intro book.

Introduction to Nanoscience by Stuart Lindsay http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JJ9RBU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_api_y.zTzbV7T0JN0

Thanks! I've done carbon Nanotube research in the past. Hit me up if you want to learn more.
