DECEMBER '05 NANOTECHNOLOGY LUNCH SEMINAR
(1) Subject : Nanotechnology in Portable Energy Products and Global Competition
Global demand for portable energy or battery technologies continue to grow, with the capabilities of mobile devices, PDA and Hybrid Vehicle and etc. However the performance characteristics of existing battery or portable energy material still fall short of the power demands of applications due to enhanced features. The challenge will be to develop breakthrough nano materials that meet the price and performance demanded by the consumers and auto sectors.
(2) Subject : Nanotech/Advanced technology collaboration with Switzerland
Swissnex - The Swiss Science and Technology Office in San Francisco helps connect it's partners, sponsors, and individuals for exchanging knowledge and collaboration in the areas of research, education, technology, and innovation.
