Emerging Areas on the Cutting Edge

Ever wonder what current research engineers and scientists are doing to make advances in nanotechnology? What are the new developments on the cutting edge? Even though nanotechnology-based products are already found in the marketplace, research and development continue. Scientists and engineers are constantly trying to improve our world by expanding our understanding of the nanoworld while at the same time creating new materials and devices along with manufacturing methods to make them.

Examples of these efforts can be found by attending special science and engineering conferences where researchers describe their work. However, some researchers also present their work to interested organizations that invite them to give special seminars that highlight the advances that are occurring in nanotechnology.

In particular, the Distinguished Lecturers of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council have a rich history of speaking to various groups interested in learning more about specific areas of nanotechnology that might be in our future. You can find information about some of the Distinguished Lecturers along with a link to a short video on each one’s work by following these links: Davide Mencarelli, Wenzhuo Wu, Deep Jariwala, Federico Rosei, José Miguel García-Martín. You can experience the cutting edge of nanotechnology by watching their videos!

In addition, the IEEE Nanotechnology Council hosts online presentations by leading researchers through its Young Professionals Committee. Some of these presentations are provided here so you can view the latest developments that caught the eye of your nanotechnology colleagues!
