What is a nanotechnologist?

A job that involves manipulating atoms to design and create new materials and devices

100

What does nanochem involve the synthesizing (polymerization) of?

Nanochem involves the synthesizing of materials from the atom up. In fact, nanochem engineers made a stop motion made with individual atoms as soon as the figured out how to manipulate them individually



100

What's the average salary of a nano chemist? 

The average pay is around 54,000/yr.

100

What kind of degree is needed for a role in nanochemistry?

Either a Masters or Bachelors of Science to be a research assistant or technician.

100

Will AI be incorporated into Nanochemistry?

Absolutely.

200

What job under nano-chemistry involves food?

A nano scientist but especially under the food sector. 

200

What does the making of materials depend on regarding the atom?

The synthesizing depends on the physical and chemical properties of the atoms it uses, such as the extreme strength of carbon nanotubes. 



200

What is the leading company in nanotechnology as a whole?

The Bruker corporation is one of the many leaders in the evolving fields of nanochemistry.

200

To be involved in Nanochemistry, you need to have a well-rounded knowledge of different topics. What are these topics?

Chemistry, biology, Physics and Engineering

200

 Will nanoscience be MORE theoretical or practical?

 Practical.



300

What would a Nanoparticle technologist most likely be involved in?

Deal with the toxicity of nano materials/ nanoparticles.

300

How is nanochem typically involved in chemical reactions?

It has applications in being catalysts for chemical reactions, such as nanozymes



300

What is the average amount of hours they work?

They work the typical 40 hour work week, though nearly all of them work overtime to varying extents. 



300

What are the average years of schooling required?

Anywhere from 4-10 years depending on how high level or specialized you plan on becoming.



300

What are some sectors in which nanotechnology is becoming increasingly integrated? 

Healthcare, electronics, energy, environmental science, and material science. 

400

 What's the job title for those who design structures so tiny they make ants' constructions?

Molecular architecture of course!


400

What does the nanochemist need to understand?

Synthesis of the materials requires deep understanding of the types of bonds formed and how to manipulate them



400

What type of environment do they work in?

They spend most of their time either in clean, sterile labs or in front of computers in an office.



400

What are some recommended ways to prepare for the job in college?

Doing internships, co-ops, and part-time jobs.



400

How will nanochemistry help store more energy?

It will develop more efficient energy storage technologies like solar cells, batteries and fuel cells. 



500

What objects does a nanotechnologist use everyday? 

sunscreen, adhesive, computers, clothing, and batteries.  

500

What type of tools are used?

It requires high technology lab equipment and processes, such as probe microscopes and understanding of molecular mechanisms we can use that already occur in nature, especially biochem with cellular processes.



500

What are the typical benefits of full-time workers?

Health insurance, retirement plans, sick leave, and paid vacation



500

What are some recommended majors, if any?

Universities are increasingly offering courses in specifically nanoscience, but otherwise chemistry, biochemistry, or engineering technology are good majors. 



500

What is the current value of the nano-technology market and what is it projected to be? 



79.14 Billion; 91.18 Billion
