Home to a score of laboratories specializing in nanotechnology, INRS is a growing centre for expertise in the field. September 10\u201312, the academic institution\u2019s researchers will host a meeting of the minds to further advance the use of nanomaterials in a variety of applications and exploit the full range of opportunities they present. Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry John C. Polanyi and other leading names in nanoscience will be presenting at the INRS \u00c9nergie Mat\u00e9riaux T\u00e9l\u00e9communications Research Centre in Varennes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nanomaterials are pushing the boundaries of science. One thousand times smaller than a red blood cell, they are increasingly being used in electronics, photonics, and biomedical technology. In order to design, produce, and characterize these materials, researchers need to pool their knowledge and their ideas. That is precisely the goal of the Nanomaterials for Devices conference, presented through a bilateral agreement between Canada and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobel laureate keynote<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

INRS is honoured to welcome John C. Polanyi of the University of Toronto as the keynote speaker. Professor Polanyi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1986, along with Yuan Tseh Lee and Dudley Robert Herschbach, for their contributions concerning the dynamics of chemical elementary processes. His research is currently focused on nanotechnology. With the help of his team, he is developing a method for monitoring chemical reactions using a \u201csurface molecular beam.\u201d This technique provides a way to better understand highly specific surface reactions and opens up promising new avenues for synthesizing nanomaterials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infinitely small with a big agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While scientists of all stripes are currently exploring effective solutions for a greener society, nanotechnology research offers several key opportunities that cannot be ignored. Conference attendees will share their ideas on various topics in green technology development, including carbon nanomaterials for electronics applications and nanomaterials designed to capture solar energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists are also keenly interested in the many biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Whether nanomaterials are being used to develop new types of sensors or to come up with novel therapeutic methods, their impact on medicine in the 21st century will be a key topic of discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
