OUR PREVIOUS MEETING________________________________________________

Topic:  “Nanotechnology and Its Applications” - Dr. Jayesh Doshi, President & CEO, eSpin Technologies, Inc.

Nanotechnology offers control over materials that will enable us to meet real end use customer needs in a way that modern technology hasn't.  Nanotechnology will enable us to tailor virtually any property of any material thereby creating business value at a scale that is useful to meet real customer needs.  In many potential applications, it will take years for products to reach market while some of the material will emerge in near future.  Dr. Jayesh Doshi discussed challenges and opportunities within nanotechnology.

Thanks to Jim Barrott for the meeting summary.
