NANOMATERIALS, NANOFABRICATION, NANOENGINEERING & NANOCONSTRUCTION

The scope of this workshop is to be a major meeting place of scientists and engineers from all over the world, who are active in studying the growth, processing and characterization of nanomaterials. The common place of the workshop is that the form of the concerned materials should be associated with the nanoscale and/or their properties should be manifested at the nanoscale.
