Nanotechnology:
Out of the Lab
Nanotechnology, with its origin on the Caltech campus with
Richard Feynman, is the control and manipulation of matter
on an atomic scale. Having attracted considerable research
funding, is it now commercially viable or is it another area
with more hype than substance? Keynote speakers and company
presentations will answer whether nanotechnology is entering
a productive adolescence as an industry or whether it is still
science searching for real applications. With applications
to almost every industry, nanotechnology companies, that include
public companies and early stage VC-backed startups, will
be critiqued by a panel of experts made up of venture capitalists
and technology managers of large corporations planning to
incorporate nanotechnology.
