Welcome to the Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Committee

The Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology Committee seeks to promote the understanding and active research in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The field is highly interdisciplinary and this is reflected in the membership of the committee. We run biannual roadshow events at different institutions around the country. We also run an international conference on a two yearly basis. The aim of these events is to bring together groups of researches for a broad range of disciplines. Read our mission statement

Growing up with nanowires

European researchers have devised a technology for ‘growing’ nanowires in a vertical configuration, which they say could lead to smaller, faster and more energy-efficient computer microchips. The project focused on combining silicon nanowires with indium arsenide and germanium substrates to overcome previous problems of using a gold catalyst.
