Special Symposium

Nanotechnology takes manufacturing to the molecular level. Research in this area is opening new fields of development and applications in many areas: materials science (nanostructured materials), medicine, biotechnology, genomics, manufacturing, computing, information technology and communications.

As research progresses, nanomaterials with improved functionality will be created. These materials will be the foundation for new generations of products and devices.

This special symposium will highlight developing innovative technologies based on the judicious manipulation and modification of the chemical and physical structures of materials at the nano dimension.
