Nanotechnology is an emerging field that brings together elements from traditional disciplines, such as applied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and biology. At the nanoscale, which covers structures that range from 1 to 100 nanometres, the physical and chemical properties of materials undergo quantitative and qualitative changes. The multidisciplinary research field of nanotechnology focuses on these changes with a view to designing and developing functional materials, structures, devices and systems.

As an academic field in its own right, nanoscience and nanoengineering, have only come to fruition within the past 15 years. More recently, it has spawned high-tech nanotechnology companies that create novel materials and devices for a range of applications in sectors such as energy, water, healthcare and electronics. Graduates could find themselves working in the R&D division of a major high-tech company such as Philips, ASML, DSM or Shell. Alternatively, they could become part of a small spin-off company developing new materials, technologies or products in the field of nanotechnology. A number of companies working in this sector have their roots in MESA+.
