US: Carbon Nanotubes and Inorganic Nanowires: Technology and Applications

Monday June 21, 2010, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Anaheim, California Technology Focus The small scale and the one dimensional structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are directly related to their unique properties which find more and more applications as the understanding and progress in synthesis continue to advance. CNTs represent an exemplary system where the bottom-up approach to synthesis results in perfect structures with sizes less than 10nm, a range which remains inaccessible for advanced projection lithography techniques. Applications of carbon nanotubes range from reinforcement of composites or conductive plastics to electrodes for batteries or flat screens, field effect transistors,...

US: Renewable Energy – Overview & Opportunities – June 21

Monday June 21, 2010, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, Anaheim, California Synopsis This course presents a big picture framework for understanding the current state of renewable energy technologies and their potential for further penetration into the global energy supply. Specific renewable energy technologies addressed include solar, geothermal, wind, and biofuels. Energy history, current global energy status, and future energy requirements are discussed to provide the background and economic environment in which these emerging renewable technologies must compete. Opportunities and barriers for each renewable energy technology are addressed as well as enabling technologies such as hydrogen and...
