Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2009

INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, Italy

19-22 October 2009

 

GENERAL VIEW

The Nanotechnology group at INFN - LNF organizes since 2000 a series of international meetings in the area of nanotechnology.

The conference in 2009 is devoted to recent developments in nanoscience and its manifold technological applications. It consists of a number of tutorial/keynote lectures, as well as research talks presenting frontier nanoscience research developments and innovative nanotechnologies in the areas of biology, medicine, aerospace, optoelectronics, energy, materials and characterizations, low-dimensional nanostructures and devices.

We plan, to submit selected papers, based on conference talks and related discussions, for publication on a dedicated issue of Journal of Nanophotonics http://spie.org/x3650.xml.
