IEEE GOLD is sponsoring an online seminar scheduled for Wednesday, 12 March 2008 at 6:00pm Eastern (New York) or 22:00:00 UTC for one hour. The online seminar will be offered at no cost to IEEE members with pre-registration required. 

Session Abstract: Nanotechnology  deals with creation of useful/functional  materials, devices and systems of any practical size by manipulating matter at the nanoscale and importantly, by taking advantage of novel and interesting properties which arise solely because of the nanoscale.  This is a broad, enabling technology with expected impact on every aspect of the economic spectrum:  electronics and computing, communications, health and medicine, energy, environment, transportation, materials and manufacturing, national security etc. This talk will provide an overview of nanotechnology, citing examples in several of the above sectors and a discussion of opportunities for the IEEE community.
