Advances in Nanotechnology
This session will focus on recent advances in nanotechnology with a strong emphasis on nanostructured materials with designed form and function. Topics may include synthesis, characterization (including imaging and property measurements), or new applications of functionalized nanomaterials and nanoscale device integration. Accepted papers will ideally span a diverse range of systems involving both hard (inorganic nanoparticles) and soft (polymers or biomolecules) materials.
