With the advent of nanotechnology, an exclusively new dimension has been added to the different aspects of material science. Properties of materials show dramatic variation as one goes down to the size in nano domain, new range of applications emerges from nature's closet. Applications in automobiles, space, healthcare, defense, telecommunication, information technology have necessitated the need of newer materials with tailored properties. For study of materials in nano domain, sophisticated technologies such as aberration corrected TEM, AFM, STM have been developed and innovative techniques are being added.
Keeping in pace with the recent advances made in the field of nanotechnology International Conference and Workshop on Nanostructured Ceramics and other Nanomaterials (ICWNCN) is being organized from March 13-16, 2012 at the Department of Physics and Astrophysics, University of Delhi. ICWNCN will provide an excellent opportunity for scientists to keep themselves abreast of recent scientific advances made in the field of nanostructured materials, and nanotechnology. This will also be a platform for young researchers to interact with renowned scientists in the field and to learn about the recent scientific developments as well as newer technologies being developed.
