Proceedings of the First NanoWorld Conference in Boston (NWC-2016). Part I: Introduction and Plenary Keynote Presentations
Journal Title: NanoWorld Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 0
Abstract
On April 4-6 2016 the NanoWorld Journal (NWJ) hosted in Newton (Boston, USA) its first edition of NanoWorld Conference (NWC) around the theme “Useful Science for a Just World” with an unprecedented gathering of the technological experts and creative thought leaders from reputed universities, industries, government laboratories and agencies. The experts gathered to discuss and share the experience of their advanced research outcomes in the field of Nanotechnology and Nanosciences to address problems arising for humanity from energy to environment and natural disasters, cancer to hardware and space which have been growing and frequently underestimated. The NWJ under the joint sponsorship of United Scientific Group (USA) and Fondazione EL.B.A Nicolini (Italy) hosted the Conference with keynote and featured speakers covering different fields of nanotechnology from reputed academic institutions and cutting edge nanotechnological companies to deliver the transition from laboratories to commercial applications to benefit the society. NWC-2016 program (Figure A Supplement) constitute a platform for discussing the ways to advance in finding the solutions through nanotechnology and nanoscience for the problems facing the world in the key sectors of energy, environment, space, hardware and cancer with the involvement of overall society. As can be seen from these Proceedings the Conference has seen the participation of the world’s leading innovators, experts, scholars from many technology and industry sectors, including USA and European Space agencies, to add new elements to the existing scientific and commercial developments. Present at the meeting were Rave LLC Nanomatching and Graphenea LLC from USA.
Cryo-EM and X-Ray Crystallography: Complementary or Alternative Techniques?
Since its virtual establishment in 1912 with the first diffraction photograph from a crystal of copper sulfate [1], X-ray crystallography has been a tremendously invaluable tool in understanding not only the chemical nat...
