You are invited to a Nanoscale Horizons Symposium on 5^th October 2018 at University of California, San Diego. Registration is free so we hope to see you there.

The one-day symposium will showcase a variety of cutting-edge work in and around the areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology, presented by members of the Nanoscale Horizons Editorial Board and local researchers – all leading names from across their fields:

The program will also feature some time for poster discussions throughout the day if you would like to bring your own research along.

Registration is free and we welcome students, researchers and Professors from universities and companies who have an interest in nanoscience and related fields.

Register before 26^th September 2018

Along with local host, Professor Michael Sailor, the event will be attended by Nanoscale Horizons’ Executive Editor Sam Keltie, Deputy Editor Michaela Muehlberg, and Editorial Board Chair Harold Craighead.

We warmly invite you to take part in this event and looks forward to welcoming you in San Diego. Further information is available on the event webpage

IEEE-NANO is the flagship IEEE Nanotechnology conference, which has been a successful annual conference since 2001. The conference scope spans both nanoscience and nanotechnology, including:

• Developing new nanomaterials or manipulating matter at nanometre length scale
• Studying the fundamental physical, chemical or biological properties of these nanomaterials and nanostructures
• Manipulating and optimizing nanomaterials and nanostructures to create  new nanosensors, nanoactuators and nanoelectronic/nanophotonic devices.

The thematic focus for IEEE NANO 2018 is Nano-Enabled Smart Things: new materials, devices and systems that can benefit humanity through applications in communications, energy, healthcare, food and environment.  The conference themes will encompass experimental contributions as well as modelling and simulation.

Confirmed plenary speakers include:

• Professor John A. Rogers (Northwestern University, USA)
• Professor Clivia M. Sotomayor Torres (Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain)
• Professor Malini Olivo (A*STAR, Singapore)
• Professor Rong Chen (Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China)
• Professor Debdepp Jena (Cornell University, USA)
• Professor Gary Rubloff (University of Maryland, USA)
