Future of Nanotechnology symposium |
|
(Nanowerk News) In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF) a one day event will take place on June 14, 2007 at the CNF in Ithaca, New York.
|
|
The Future of Nanotechnology symposium will celebrate CNF's contributions by looking into the shape of things to come. Renowned experts from around the world have been invited to share their vision of (i) the future of nanotechnology, (ii) the emerging field of nanomedicine, and (iii) the social and ethical issues associated with nanotechnology. Plenary lectures will introduce these three topics in the morning, and parallel tracks will explore these topics in detail in the afternoon. A poster session will give an opportunity to attendees to present their work.
