JAIPUR: With the boom in solar energy business in Rajasthan, universities like BITs and RTU are providing Nanotechnology specifications for students to excel.
For students pursuing engineering, looking for fields that could lead to potential employment opportunities, Nanotechnology is something they should keep their eyes on.
“Nanotechnology is just impacting particles on nanoscale. For example, in a solar panel, there are five different layers and different researchers are researching about different layers with primary intention to improve the efficiency of the panel,” Said Dr. Radhe Shyam, PHD in Nanotechnology from MNIT Jaipur.
Because of the need to minimise the volume of technology and maximise its efficiency, the Nanotechnology industry is thriving. And global opportunities are growing with the threat of climate change. The nanotech scientists are on to find answers to make sustainable energy more efficient.
When asked about how to pursue Nanotechnology as a career, Shyam mentioned that a person should first have a good understanding of the basics of physics and chemistry. They should be a physics or chemistry graduate and in their post-graduation, they should opt for nanotechnology.
“Nanotechnology can assist to overcome present efficiency barriers and significantly boost solar energy output and storage. At the nanoscale, a number of physical mechanisms have been created that potentially enhance the processing and transmission of solar radiation. Similarly in lithium ion batteries, in smartphone chips we are trying to achieve better performances and that’s where the upcoming students can come in the picture, because this need and demand will only grow further,” said Shyam.
