The mission of the Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University is to provide a venue where researchers from all disciplines of science and engineering can come together to share ideas and discuss their views and prospects of nanoscience, nanoengineering, and nanotechnology. The presentation will highlight: interactions with Texas Medical Center; development of new innovations on nanometer scale, carbon nanotubes, medical applications of C60, nanoporous membranes, molecular computing, and nanoshell diagnostic and therapeutic applications. These are part of major initiative in nano, bio, info and enviro science and engineering.
