| go back | ||
| Over the last few decades, impressive advancements in human ability to design, control and exploit the properties of matter at the nanometer scale have led to the realization of unprecedented nanotechnological applications, taking, in less than half a century, Richard Feynman's original vision into the real world. Nanotechnology-based drugs are now commercially available, as are the first lighting devices and displays. Likewise, novel nanomaterials-based solutions are very soon expected to improve, or even replace, the traditional technologies for capturing, transferring and storing energy, which will ultimately enable mankind to meet its increasing need for secure, accessible and environmentally friendly power sources. The scope of this symposium is to provide an overview of the most advanced nanotechnologies in the energy field as well as of their potential economical impact, and to create a common platform for scientists, industries and investors for exchanging information and , building relationships and establishing collaborations. |
