Think really small–smaller than anything you have ever seen through a microscope. Think atoms and molecules. Now you are at the nanoscale. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are creating new tools for clean energy, lighter and more durable materials, filters for drinking water, detection and treatment of diseases, low energy lighting, etc. Learn about the promise of nanotechnology to improve lives and contribute to economic growth.
The 21st century is the age of nanoelectronics and will be transformed by increasingly powerful electronic products. At the same time, new applications that apply nanoelectronics to challenges in health, the environment, and energy will be increasingly important. This talk is an introduction to the past, present, and future of nanoelectronics.
