Aula Touschek (Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati)

The NEXT Nanotechnology group at INFN - LNF organizes since 2000 a series of international meetings in the area of nanotechnology.
The conference in 2018 is devoted to recent developments in nanoscience and its manifold technological applications. It consists of a number of tutorial/keynote lectures, as well as research talks presenting frontier nanoscience research developments and innovative nanotechnologies in the areas of biology, medicine, aerospace, optoelectronics, energy, materials and characterizations, low-dimensional nanostructures and devices.
We plan to submit selected papers, based on conference talks and related discussions, for publication on a dedicated issue of a MDPI journal (to be specified later).
There will be Invited Lecturers and selected talks from the call for papers below, as well as a poster session.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Authors wishing to submit their work for presentation at the conference can send an abstract as a doc or pdf file (max. 3 pages) to bellucci@lnf.infn.it by 5th December 2018, specifying whether it is meant for oral or poster presentation.
