9 MESSAGE OF THE PROMOTING COMMITTEE COORDINATORS Nanoscience and nanotechnology refer to the possibility of studying, assembling, manipulating and characterizing matter on the scale of nanometres. Nanoscience is a crossroads for quantum physics, supramolecular chemistry, material science and molecular biology. Nanotechnology, on the other hand, deals with the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems on the nanometrelength scale, through the use of nanoscience concepts. So nanotechnologists are focused on building new structures and substances by manipulating molecules and atoms on this scale. nanotechnology makes possible to create materials with improved (or, more accurately, altered) properties, such as being both lightweight and having ultrahigh strength, and greater capabilities such as in electrical, heat conductivity, energetic and biological behaviour. Another research approach is known as top-down nanofabrication, which involves working with bulk materials and reducing them to nanometer size. nanotechnology are almost endless and practically all the most important industrial sectors can be dramatically changed by them. Several products deriving from nanotechnology have already reached market maturity: UV absorbing nanopowders for sun-blocking creams, nanostructured powders for coatings or paints, hard disks with nanostructured surfaces for ultra high density magnetic recording and storage. Other products are ready to be commercialized in large volumes such as photonic devices, self-cleaning surfaces, lab-on-chip devices for prostheses with higher durability and improved biocompatibility, conductive polymers, better systems for energy storage and production have been introduced to world markets. However, the world markets for pure nanotech products is only few billions US$. According to forecasts, the global growth rates will, depending on branch and application, amount to 8-25% p.a. in the next 15 years. The convergence of nanoscale research with other sciences such as biology, chemistry and physics that link up with engineering, creates vast opportunities to enhance the performance. Moreover, following recent works by Nobel Prize physicist Richard Smalley of Rice U., nanotechnology is exciting because the science and engineering behind it are largely unknown. different from those that have been widely accepted in larger scales. Carlo Enrico Bottani Polytechnic of Milan, Coordinator of the Promoting Committee Fabrizio Pirri Polytechnic of Turin, Coordinator of the Promoting Committee dustry, including materials and manufacturing, nanoelectronics and computing, health, medicine, biopharmaceuticals, food and agriculture, environment and energy, automotive, national security, aeronautics and space exploration. As already reported in the introduction of the past edition, NANOFORUM 2010 will try to give a picture of the today state of the art of nanotechnologies with its industrial applications and promises.
