The 2008 NNEC will include technical presentations and exhibits from companies leading the nanotechnology industry and will feature concurrent sessions covering Aerospace & Defense, Bio/Medical, Electronics, Advanced Materials Business, Energy & Environment.
The Nano50 Awards will also be presented during the conference, showcasing the top innovators, technologies and products in nanotechnology. This year's dinner presentation will be given by Cherry Murray, Principal Associate Director for Science and Technology, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Murray will discuss how the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the world's most powerful laser, will be commissioned in spring 2009.
NIF will in the next few years be able to create ignition in the laboratory - and beget a new field of "experimental astrophysics" by reproducing in the lab the conditions inside a miniature star. NIF will enable the pursuit of the science behind fusion power with controlled experiments. This will be realized with tiny laser targets of nano-precision. This dinner presentation will describe some of the nano science and technology advances that will help achieve this goal.
