     (ZOOM Sessions).
    You can find the passcode from Announcement email from Monday 13th September
    (also found from the bottom this front page).


    This is an introductory course for nanomaterials and the topics include for example stability, synthesis of nanomaterials, and material properties at nanoscale. The course includes also a compulsory Science Project done in small groups.

    In Autumn 2021, all Lectures and Science Project Sessions are online (ZOOM Sessions)
    while Exercises are on Hybrid Mode (Face-to-Face and ZOOM Sessions available).
    Review Session (THU 21st October) is only online (ZOOM Sessions).


    STUDY PERIOD I: Lectures and Exercises are only in this period (no compulsory attendance to any of these sessions)
    Exam (option 1): 25th October


    STUDY PERIOD II: Science Project is only in this period, 
    (compulsory attendance:     one of the Science Project Video Sessions A-C)
    Exam (option 2): 14th December
