This is our second international symposium following the grand success of our first International symposium in March 2016 as a part of our on-going UKIERI project dissemination activity. In this symposium, we want to bring general public and policy makers in addition to researchers from academic and industrial organisations on a single platform. We have a special forum where we want to continue our discussion started in our 1st International symposium and decide the future progress of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology on Industrial perspective. This will be a progress review for the last four years (2016-2020) where academic and industrial organisations will discuss together on current challenges and future strategy for the ultimate goal i.e. benefit for the society. This symposium will once again aims to discuss three major thematic areas under “nano” such as (i) Nano-energy/environmental for better society; (ii) Nano-medicine for health & diagnostics and (iii) Nano-catalysis and green technology. Themes 1 and 3 will be published as a special issue in Material Today: Proceedings by Elsevier and theme 2 will be published as a special issue in “Nanomedicine” by Future medicine. More information can be found in the abstract submission page. In addition to Scientific programme, we have social events in all evenings (see social event section)
Researchers have found that twisting the layers of bilayer graphene influences the movement of electrons by altering the spacing between the layers.
