International Nanotechnology Symposium, Dresden, Deutschland

Nanofair promotes the exchange of information between people from industry and universities actively involved in developing applications of nanotechnology&#046; The scope of the symposium is nanotechnology in automotive, electronics, life sciences, materials and optics&#046;<br>The breakthrough of small particles with high growth potentials has begun&#046; Nanotechnology is applied in microelectronics, where the size of the structures is in the nanometer region&#046; <b>Keywords:</b> Nanotechnology research concerns materials and devices whose properties are influenced by the size of their building&#8211;blocks, typically ten to several hundred nanometers&#046; At the nanometer scale, novel properties appear which can be tuned by controlling the size of the individual constituents of the material or the device&#046; Such features are highly attractive for technical applications in a variety of fields and are already finding use in the fields from advanced electronics to extremely hard paints&#046;<br>New tools and processes to prepare and characterize such materials and devices are being developed all over the world&#046; Thus Nanotechnology, with its high potential for innovation, stands a good chance of becoming one of the key technologies in the 21st century&#046; The aim of this symposium is to bring together people from academia and industry to discuss the potential of this rapidly evolving field and to promote cooperation to develop the full potential of nanotechnology&#046;
