The 2003 Nanotechnology Seminar will examine several areas
where research is opening exciting new potentials for this
developing technology. The intersection of physics, chemistry,
engineering and biology at the nanoscale could lead to revolutionary
approaches for medical diagnostics, treatment of disease,
drug discovery, energy production, and computing. In information
systems, circuits, connectors, displays, transistors and,
ultimately, entire systems of "nanosized" parts
are being designed, and some, like fullerene-based transistors,
are already being tested. New tools capable of imaging,
measuring, and manipulating individual atoms and molecules
will be key to continued progress. These are already being
used to isolate and explore biomolecular machines such as
motor proteins that carry out numerous biological functions
including providing locomotion for living organisms. This
2-day seminar brings together leading researchers in this
rapidly advancing field of research.
