Nanotechnology
Conference
(WUNC),
the

Lecture:
2:00-3:00pm
The
Future
will
be
Measured
in
Nanometers
The
Nano
Age
is
upon
us...
With
nano-scale
advancements
we
are
reimagining
Health
and
Life
Sciences,
Energy,
Computing,
Information
Technology,
Manufacturing,
Quantum
Science,...
That
is
because
nano
is
not
a
specific
technology.
It
does
not
belong
to
a
particular
industry
or
discipline.
It
is,
rather,
a
revolutionary
way
of
understanding
and
working
with
matter,
and
it
is
the
key
to
launching
the
next
Innovation
Age,
the
Nano
Age.
