Nano-Energy Workshop on September 13-14 |
|
(Nanowerk News) Next month, Lehigh University's P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science will host some of the brightest names in energy-focused nanotechnology research. Sessions and discussions will explore how a wide range of nanotechnology disciplines across chemistry, materials, electrical engineering, physics and photonics are being explored to address the need to improve today's energy efficiencies and even tap into new sources of energy production.

Nano-Energy Workshop 2010's Agenda includes multiple expert speakers on these topics:
|
|
I. NANOSCALE ELECTRONICS AND OPTICS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
|
|
II. SOLAR AND ENERGY EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES
|
|
III. CATALYSTS, SORBENTS, AND MEMBRANES FOR ENERGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT
