Nanotechnology and Material Science
The two countries confirmed the importance of nanotechnologies as a paradigm shift which will underpin a new generation of technologies and products, possibly as sweeping as ICT and biotechnology. The results of a bilateral workshop held in Washington at the National Science Foundation in May 2002 provided suggested topics for collaboration among U.S. universities and research institutions and Italian centers of excellence. These topics include:
novel behavior of electrons in low dimensional systems
understanding the nanoscale:
-- nanoelectronics and spintronics
-- optics and optoelectronics
-- fabrication and
self-assembly(Denglisch)
biomolecular materials and devices (...)"
