We'd like to thank all of our participants and attendees for making the first Nanomanufacturing Summit a successful event! Overviews of the talks and sessions for each day have been posted on InterNano. In addition, the complete event program (PDF), presentation abstracts and many of the presentations are available for viewing and downloading from the Summit website. The Summit student poster session (PDF) can also be viewed, along with the announcement of the Student Poster Competition winners. The Nanomanufacturing Summit 2009 held in Boston from May 27 to 29 brought together experts in the field of and nanomanufacturing and highlighted innovative academic, government and industry research, successful commercialization strategies, and challenges and approaches for bridging the gap between the laboratory and the production floor. Summit participants represented multi-disciplinary areas of expertise in physical, environmental, and health sciences, government and regulation, as well as commercial manufacturing and entrepreneurship. Throughout the 3-day event attendees heard about those areas of practice that stand out from the general nanotechnology and nanoscience themes as addressing near-term issues and having the potential to facilitate the commercial development and marketable application of nanoscale systems and devices. Regards,

The previously announced Technology Innovation Program (TIP) by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) presently provides competition for multiyear research funding in two major areas of national interest--civil infrastructure and manufacturing. With this technology focus TIP anticipates providing cost-shared funding for approximately 25 new R&D projects.
David C. Bell, Max C. Lemme, and colleagues at Harvard and MIT report the use of a Helium Ion Beam microscope configured for lithography to etch graphene devices with sub-20nm feature sizes. As a direct-write process, helium ion lithography bypasses the need for resists or other materials to come in contact with the graphene, allowing the devices to be fabricated cleanly and without damage.
Quantum dot-block copolymer hybrids offer a means for increasing the solubility and stability of inorganic nanoparticles. More importantly, appropriate surface functionalization of the polymer hybrid enables a direct linkage between organic and semiconducting materials to the inorganic core--meaning that custom polymer blocks can assemble the necessary hierarchy to optimize material properties for specific applications. Zorn, et.al., report their investigation of QD-BCP hybrids for improving the properties of QD light emitting diodes (QLEDs).
