SCSU 2nd Annual NanoTechnology and Industry Workshop
Thursday, February 23, 2012
Nanotechnology is described as the “science of the very small”, and is predicted to impact literally every facet of our future lives, from pharmaceuticals to fabrics to devices to agricultural products and industrial tools. Nanotechnology is an enabling technology that will dramatically impact our future economy, yet many people still know relatively little about what is becoming a VERY big deal!
