Mini-symposium on Nanotechnology
On 19 February 2014, Kivi Students Twente organised the Nanotechnology mini-symposium in collaboration with Saxion University of Applied Sciences. Guest speakers Prof Gregor Luthe and Prof ing. Dave Blank gave attendees a look at nanometre scale. Where Gregor Luthe gave an in-depth look at the possibilities of nanotechnology in the medical field. Dave Blank mainly gave an overall picture of nanotechnology and what it is capable of. Including both the possibilities and dangers of this invisible little technology.
Both speakers managed to make the unimaginably small scale somewhat tangible with clear examples. At the drinks afterwards, there was an opportunity to interact with the speakers. All in all, a successful afternoon that is definitely worth repeating.
We would like to thank the guest speakers once again for their presentations. And we hope to see everyone again at a future activity.
Description
MINI-SYMPOSIUM 'Nanotechnology: how small is Nano and what can you do with it?'
Have you always wondered what Nanotechnology means and what kind of techniques are being developed at this scale? Then you should definitely attend this lecture!
This mini-symposium will consist of two lectures given by scientific director of Mesa+ Prof Dr ing. Dave Blank and by the lecturer of Nanotechnology at Saxion prof Dr Gregor Luthe. The topics of the lectures are:
