NExtbigfuture is at the Foresight Nanotechnology Integration conference this weekend. Here is the link to the schedule.
The Integration Conference brought together over 20 speakers to present their research and vision within the realm of groundbreaking atomic- and molecular-scale science and engineering with application across a wide range of advanced technologies, including materials, electronics, energy conversion, biotechnology and more. Events will include presentation of the annual Foresight Institute Feynman Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in nanoscale science and technology.
Integration: The development and proliferation of nanotechnology through its applications in diverse fields are dependent upon the successful integration of nano-engineered devices and materials ("nanosystems") into more complex micro- and macro-systems. Thus, this year the concept of Integration is highlighted, for the successful integration of nanosystems can impact the rate of development, application, and ultimately benefit.
One of the presenters was Dr. Banning Garrett is the director of the Asia Program at the Atlantic Council of the United States. He is also the director of the Strategic Foresight Initiative, which works with the National Intelligence Council on their quadrennial long-term assessments. He has previously directed programs for the Asia Society and the University of Denver and was a consultant for 22 years to the Department of Defense and US government agencies involved in the strategic dialogue with China
