Welcome to NANONET-Styria the Styrian Nanotechnology Initiative

 

NANONET-Styria?

NANONET-Styria was founded as a Styrian nanotechnology network in autumn 2001. The network supports and focuses existing expertise and interests in the field of nanotechnology and seeks to establish nanotechnology in Styria on a long-term basis. Only through close cooperation of all Styrian partners in the world of business, science / research and public administration is it possible to put ideas into practice that none of the individual partners would be able to accomplish for scientific and economic reasons alone.

A future technology with visions

Many technical revolutions over the past 200 years, from the steam engine to electricity and microelectronics, are founded on the ability to be able to produce smaller and smaller things with an increasing level of precision. This is especially true of nanotechnology. Around the world, tremendous efforts are being made to develop this wide field and ultimately to launch a technological revolution with a vast impact on science, industrial development and the economy.

Nanotechnology „ in the realm of dwarfs

Named after the Greek word "nanos” meaning ìdwarf”, today nanotechnology is generally regarded as the epitome of future technology. A nanometre is one billionth of a metre, nanotechnology operates in the range of one to ten atom diameters.

Nanotechnology deals with the production, analysis and application of structures, molecular materials, internal interfaces with critical dimensions or production tolerances from just a few to approx. one hundred nanometres, bringing together knowledge from all realms of natural science.

There is practically no sphere in which scientists are not planning to use this new technology in order to tap into as yet unknown possibilities and devise new materials, from medicine to a completely new generation of high-performance nano memory chips.
