(Nanowerk News) CEA-Leti and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will present their joint nanosystem roadmaps at an Nov. 10 workshop at Caltech in Pasadena, Calif.
|
|
The workshop, sponsored by the NanoVLSI Alliance, is designed to inform potential industrial partners about the potential for nanosystems in three areas:
|
|
Ultra-high-sensitivity and selectivity, gas-phase chemical sensing
High-throughput proteomic µ-mass spectrometry
Microfluidic biosensing for medical, pharmaceutical, environmental and agro-food diagnostics
|
|
CEA/Leti-Minatec and Caltech’s Kavli Nanoscience Institute created the NanoVLSI Alliance in 2006 to collaborate on nanoscience at Caltech and in microsystems science and engineering at Leti-MINATEC. Researchers from both institutions are working together to transform nanotechnology-based prototypes into robust, complex sensing systems ready for transfer to industry.
|
|
The alliance recently launched the Caltech-Leti Nanosystems Sponsor Program for leading industry players to accelerate the commercialization of its nanosystem innovations.
|
|
In addition to presentations on the NanoVLSI Alliance’s three areas of focus, the Oct. 2 workshop will include a session on member benefits of the sponsor program, and one-on-one discussions between interested companies and key alliance officials and researchers.
