Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Conference "Nanoscience and Nanotechnology: a great technology on a tiny scale," offered by Sumio Iijima (Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Investigación Científica y Técnica. Meijo University. Japan). "Cycle of Japan", in collaboration with Professor Sumio Iijima and Casa Asia. Sumio Iijima was honored in 2008 with the Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Investigación Científica y Técnica. Born in Saitama (Japan) in 1991 discovered carbon nanotubes, materials made from carbon atoms, and their inherent potential. They are the toughest fibers known so far, which gives rise to a new generation of ultra-light materials and XDR. These versatile materials, excellent conductors of heat and electricity that can behave like metals or semiconductors, could revolutionize the fields of electronics and computing, among many other applications. One of them paid directly into the field of renewable energy, have shown that carbon nanotubes are a few exceptional candidates for the safe storage of hydrogen, a fuel of the future.
