This course is an elective that introduces the physics concepts used in nanoscience and nanotechnology. It will enable students to better understand the specific phenomena associated with the nanoscale. It also includes an introduction to the four types of microscopy used to observe and measure at this scale: AFM, STM, SEM, and TEM.

The course aims to provide a general introduction to physics as it relates to the biological sciences and to contextualize the use of modern physics concepts—through its methods and approaches—to describe biological systems and their complexity, from the molecular to the cellular scale. It is therefore essential to understand the central role that physics has played for the past century in helping us understand the principles of the organization and dynamics of living, complex matter (from the cell to populations of individuals). At the same time, it is important to recognize that biological systems represent a new opportunity for physicists to learn more about the complexity of living matter and its capacity for self-organization, regulation, and control, while also exploring new biomimetic applications.
