IEEE Symposium Nanotechnology Solutions for Clean Water & Energy - From Promise to Reality July 17, 2007

What underpins a $100B US market, is a nonrenewable irreplaceable fuel, is treated like the supply is unlimited, is cheaper than dirt and needs a savior? WATER
Try running a farm, making corn based ethanol, running your gasoline engine, flushing - well you get the idea. The question is whether there is anything that fount of wonders - nanotechnology - can do to mitigate our tendency to pollute and waste it.

Find out from the scientists and entrepreneurs who think the answer is YES.

The IEEE San Francisco Bay Area Nanotechnology Council will hold its Third Annual All Day Symposium on July 17, 2007 With the continuing theme of Nanotech: From Promise to Reality, the 2007 event focus is on Creating a Sustainable Environment.
