The IASTED conference on nanotechnology and applications (NANA 2008) will cover nanobiotechnology, nanomaterials, nanoelectronics and nanomaterials, as well as the ethical and environmental implications of nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is one of the most promising technological fields in the world today. Although many of its greatest advances are at least a generation out, and some of the predicted gains are speculative, nanotechnology offers the potential to revolutionize the way people live their lives. Nanorobots within the human body may one day detect, find and eliminate diseases and threats to human health while they are still in the nascent stage. Nanoscale science may dramatically improve on current fibre-optics and electronics technology while ameliorating the cost, durability, and weight of extant aircraft building materials. No less important, nanotechnology could one day solve the world's energy problems.

The IASTED International Conference on Nanotechnology and Applications (NANA 2008), to be held in Crete, Greece, will bring together leading experts in the fields of nanobiotechnology, nanoelectronics, power and energy, environmental applications, nanomaterials, and nanoethics. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
