 Program
Nanoscience is expected to provide breakthroughs in areas such as materials and manufacturing, nanoelectronics, medicine and healthcare, energy, biotechnology, and information technology. There is also a growing consensus in the scientific community that nanoscience will be the next industrial revolution. This Symposium will be a place to present recent developments and outline future areas of activity in this vital field by world leaders in nanoscience. Discussions will be centred on materials, components, and systems whose structures exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical, and biological properties, which, owing to the nanoscale dimensions, are not observed at macroscopic level. Both long-term fundamental nanoscience and short-term engineering research will be included in the presentations.
By stimulating interactions and discussions between researchers representing different disciplines, it is the intention of the symposium to encourage and facilitate collaboration between research groups, particularly across national boundaries both within and outside Europe. The symposium will include, but will not be limited to, the following topics: Materials and manufacturing including organic as well as inorganic nanometric structures Nanotechnologies and nanofabrication for Micro- and nanodevices New standards for measurements at nanoscale dimensions Nanometric scale processes and systems based on ion, electron and laser beams Nanoarchitectonics by making use of the 3rd dimension such as cubes, fibres, pyramids, etc... Nanoelectronics and computer technology, including quantum dots, quantum wires, integrated nanosensor systems, as well as small electronic storage, logic and cooling devices Nano-optics and –physics Nanochemistry, including molecular motors, nanoreactors, etc... Nanomechanics Biotechnology-related nanosystems as well as biological molecules arrays
Theory including simulation and design of nanoscale systems
