The nanotech community will gather for two days on March 26-27, 2007 in Arlington, VA to discuss the most important applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery, diagnostics and medical devices. The two-day conference will consist of presentations, panels and networking opportunities, providing insights into trends in nanomedicine, dissociating myths from realities and highlighting future areas of commercial potential.

The Nanotech Forum will give attendees an inside look at investing in innovative nanotechnologies. Nanotech and public companies will discuss how they are capitalizing on nano business opportunities and mitigating risks. Learn the range of nanotech and the impact on varied and disparate markets

A major 1.5 day conference to draw together representatives from the nanotechnology sector and the investment community from Australia, New Zealand and internationally to examine future opportunities, latest developments of nanotechnology and how it applies to a diverse range of industries in Australia and globally.

This event will examine technologies that offer real environmental benefit, and will also review the findings of the recently published STOA report on the Role of Nanotechnology in Chemical Substitution.

The purpose of the International Conference on "NT Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety: Research to Practice" is to advance this emerging field with respect to: the protection and promotion of worker safety and health in nanomanufacturing enterprises/environment and consumer public health, and the prevention and treatment of occupational diseases through the use of NT.

This symposium is the second in the series on nanotechnology for the World Future Society in terms of pre-conference activities. The highly successful, first symposium was held in Chicago in July 2005 in response to a substantial number of requests on this critical area of research and technology that has the potential for significant impact on the social, economic, and cultural fabric of modern society. This symposium format offers a great deal of in-depth detail and audience dialogue, and a chance to network with leaders in nanotechnology.

A new, rapid and highly cost effective capability for early detection and control of production problems caused by reticle-haze formation has been introduced by TEA Systems Corporation. This release marks the completion of development for the industry's first toolset to employ metrology and advance Process Behavioral ModelsTM for the prevention of production yield loss due to the gradual build-up of chemically-deposited haze on the reticle or final lens of the scanner in Deep Ultra-Violet (DUV) exposure environments.

SEMTech Solutions, Inc., announced that it will deliver the first 50kV Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) system installed in the U.S. to Duke University in October 2007. The ELIONIX ELS-7500EX is a high precision compact EBL system capable of generating patterns with a line width of 10nm.

This is an one-week, intensive training course for nanotechnology researchers on public communication and the ethical implications of nanotechnology. The course consists of an alternating programme of expert lectures, case studies, media training, role play, group discussions and debate.

This one-day introductory course, delivered in partnership with Cranfield University, is aimed at clinicians, researchers, industry professionals and others who require a broad overview of the new field of nanomedicine and its amazing implications for 21st Century medicine.

SEMTech Solutions, Inc., announced that it will deliver an Elionix 100kV Electron Beam Lithography system to Harvard’s FAS Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS).

SEMTech Solutions, an established provider of reconditioned Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs), has recently hired Dr. Ernest T. Dobi to manage its new Field Emission (FE) SEM services laboratory.
