Canada's Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) has announced the launch of a new diploma program in nanotechnology systems.

"At the nanometer scale, all sorts of novel and useful characteristics emerge that have enormous potential to improve products and processes in so many industries," says NAIT's Mark Archibald. "Our goal is to prepare technicians and technologists for entry into exciting and rapidly evolving careers in nanotechnology."

"The diploma could complement the research centre, the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), located just across the river at the University of Alberta," writes Edmonton Journal's Elise Stolte. "NAIT staff say the new diploma will teach students to operate systems and equipment associated with the growing nanotechnology industry."
