ICONN 2012 nanotechnology conference in Perth

1 Post author: Solvent 17 January 2012 02:34AM

I won a prize and get to travel to Perth, Australia to attend the 2012 ICONN nanotechnology conference.

Is anyone else from LessWrong going to be there?

I don't actually know much about nanotechnology. Does anyone have any particular recommendations for some a good introduction?

Thanks.

Academic conferences tends to be very technical, so don't expect to be able fully follow the talks. A review paper

Thank you for the paper.

I accept your challenge. :)

That article is the simplest intro of nanotechnology. The lectures at ICONN would be a complete opposite of this simplicity. But by judging your IQ level, I suppose Solvent would perform its function efficiently ! Watch out for QDs at the conference. See you.
