The 2002 Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics was the third in the series of WOFE workshops. Over 70 leading experts from academia, industry, and government agencies reported on the most recent developments in their fields and exchanged views on future trends and directions of the electronics and photonics industry. The issues they addressed ranged from system-on-chip to DNA doping, from ultrathin SOI to electrotextiles, from photonics integration on the ULSI platform to wide band gap semiconductor devices and solid state lighting. The rapid pace of electronic technology evolution compels a merger of different technical areas, and WOFE-02 provided a unique opportunity for cross-fertilization of the emerging fields of microelectronics, photonics, and nanoelectronics. The workshop was informal and stimulated provocative views, visionary outlooks, and discussions on controversial issues.

Heutige und geplante Auswirkungen und Anwendungen umfassen die folgenden Gebiete: Automobilindustrie, Elektronik und IT-Branche, Umweltschutz, Industrie und Automatisierung, Werkstoffwissenschaften, Chemie, Materialeigenschaften, Medizin und Biomedizin, neue Fabrikationsmethoden, Feinwerktechnik und Optik sowie Telekommunikation. Dieser Bericht geht näher auf die folgenden Themengebiete ein: Forschungs- und Entwicklungserfolge der Vergangenheit sowie Anwendungsgebiete aktueller Mikrotechnologie-Produkte mit einem speziellen Blick auf den Healthcare Markt und Biotechnologie Produkte wie lab on a chip oder Mikroarrays . Es werden neue Fabrikationsmethoden einiger Anwendungen näher betrachtet. Die wichtigsten Marktteilnehmer werden vorgestellt: Universitäten, Firmen, Forschungsanstalten, Organisationen und wichtige Persönlichkeiten. Diese und ihre Arbeitsgebiete werden näher beschrieben. Aktuelle Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte und die zugehörige Infrastruktur aus verschiedensten Ländern werden näher betrachtet. Zukünftige Anwendungen aus verschiedenen Gebieten der Nanotechnologie, der Folgetechnologie zur Mikrotechnik, werden diskutiert. Diese umfassen: Werkstoffwissenschaften, Medizin und Biotechnologie, Feinwerktechnik, Elektronik und IT, Automatisierungstechnik und neue Fabrikationsmethoden. Ein Überblick über die Investoren für die Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeit wird gegeben. Öffentliche Förderprogramme verschiedener Länder werden genauso betrachtet und untereinander verglichen wie private Unterstützung von Non-Profit Organisationen und Venture Kapital Gesellschaften. Das Potential der Nanotechnologie für die Zukunft wird zusammen mit einem Ausblick auf eine große Zukunft und hohe Wachstumsraten präsentiert. Verschiedene Marktszenarien für die Zukunft werden vorgestellt und diskutiert. Das Ende dieser Arbeit widmet sich dem Rose Hulman Institute of Technology und deren Gründerzentrum Rose Hulman Ventures. Deren Erfahrung und Methoden bei der Unterstützung von [...]

energy production, environmental management, transportation, communication, computation, and education. As the twenty-first century unfolds, nanotechnology's impact on the health, wealth, and security of the world's people is expected to be at least as significant as the combined influences in this century of antibiotics, the integrated circuit, and human-made polymers. Dr. Neal Lane, Advisor to the President for Science and Technology and former National Science Foundation (NSF) director, stated at a Congressional hearing in April 1998, "If I were asked for an area of science and engineering that will most likely produce the breakthroughs of tomorrow, I would point to nanoscale science and engineering. " Recognizing this potential, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have issued a joint memorandum to Federal agency heads that identifies nanotechnology as a research priority area for Federal investment in fiscal year 2001. This report charts "Nanotechnology Research Directions," as developed by the Interagency W orking Group on Nano Science, Engineering, and Technology (IWGN) of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). The report incorporates the views of leading experts from government, academia, and the private sector. It reflects the consensus reached at an IWGN-sponsored workshop held on January 27-29, 1999, and detailed in contributions submitted thereafter by members of the V. S. science and engineering community. (See Appendix A for a list of contributors.

The search for cleaner, cheaper, smaller and more efficient energy technologies has to a large extent been motivated by the development of new materials. The aim of this collection of articles is therefore to focus on what materials-based solutions can offer and show how the rationale design and improvement of their physical and chemical properties can lead to energy-production alternatives that have the potential to compete with existing technologies. In terms of alternative means to generate electricity that utilize renewable energy sources, the most dramatic breakthroughs for both mobile (i.e., transportation) and stationary applications are taking place in the fields of solar and fuel cells. And from an energy-storage perspective, exciting developments can be seen emerging from the fields of rechargeable batteries and hydrogen storage.
