Rusnanotech 08
The Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies invites you to take part in the Nanotechnology International Forum, which will be held December 3-5, 2008 in Moscow, Russia.
Some topics include: nanoscale processes and phenomena; nanotechnology and manufacturing; foresight and roadmaps in nanotechnology and nanoindustry; and social and safety aspects of nanotechnology development. Please click here for more information about this event.
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.
