Lehigh Nanotech Network Holds Global Perspective Conference 2010
On Thursday, April 22, 2010 the Lehigh Nanotech Network (LNN) will present the Nanotech-Global Perspective 2010 Conference. This event will address questions such as: how has globalization affected the Nanotech arena, and where are the global frontiers of nanotechnology today.
The conference will be held at Woodcock Washburn, Cira Center, 2929 Arch Street in Philadelphia. For more information including the event schedule and registration information, please click here.
Why Is Small So Big?
Nanotechnology deals with products and processes that are measured in almost unbelievably small increments called “nanometers”—one billionth of a meter.
At the nanoscale, materials differ from larger objects in their physical, chemical and biological properties; therefore, they lend themselves to new and improved materials, systems and devices. Nanotechnology is behind the development of such diverse advancements as:
- Drug Delivery
- Biofiltration and Separation sciences
- Improved coatings for medical devices
Thanks to rapid advances in this exciting new field, we now have the tools and talents to manipulate materials on the molecular scale—a technology literally changing the world as we know it.
