Event Information Productive Nanosystems: Launching the Technology Roadmap DoubleTree Hotel Crystal City Arlington VA USA October 09, 2007 to  October 10, 2007 Description For 20 years, researchers have explored the amazing promise of atomically-precise manufacturing. Now, for the first time, the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems will show the way forward, and the payoffs along the road, to this ultimate technological revolution. Over the last two years, under Battelle's leadership, and hosted by four U.S. National Laboratories, researchers from academia, government, and industry have met to chart paths toward advanced, atomically-precise manufacturing. The resulting roadmap reveals crucial challenges and unexpected opportunities in the next steps forward. Join us for two intensive days with leading experts as we explore the power of advanced "bottom-up" nanotechnologies.

Discussion and presentations will address:

• Challenges to overcome and ways that might be done
• Applications addressed by productive nanosystems
• Common framework (roadmap) to reach the ultimate promise of nanotechnology
• Practical "how to" steps anyone involved or interested in nanotechnology can take

Productive nanosystems are molecular-scale systems that make other useful materials and devices that are nanostructured. The Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems has examined what can be developed in labs today and then mapped out a step-by-step plan for the pathways of development that must take place to achieve productive nanosystems. The project brought together and coordinated the thinking and activity of key stakeholders who have a role in developing the next generations of nanotechnology. The goal is to provide a common vocabulary and framework that each stakeholder can use for their own business' strategy, investment, research and/or development process.
