The San Bernardino Community College District’s Economic Development and Corporate Training Division through the Center for the Advancement of Nanotechnology (NanoCenter) will host the Nanotechnology Summit 2014 on April 25 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Donald F. Averill Applied Technology Training Center (ATTC), 114 S. Del Rosa Drive, San Bernardino, 92408. The public and media are invited to attend. There is no charge for the event, parking is free and lunch is provided. R.S.V.P. by April 16 to http://nanosummit2014.eventbrite.com. Dr. Meyya Meyyappan, Chief Scientist for Exploration Technology, NASA Ames Research Center is the program’s keynote speaker. Former Director of NASA’s Center for Nanotechnology, Meyyappan will discuss the evolution of nanotechnology and its current applications, all issues at the heart of this year’s summit, “Nanotechnology Shaping the Industry”. Students from the San Bernardino Valley College Honors Chemistry Class under the guidance of their instructor, Jason Morales, Ph.D., will describe their nano-composite research project. The ATTC has partnered with Morales’ class to allow students to image their materials using the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) so they can see the nano-particles they are creating. Morales will discuss the importance to students of viewing (imaging) what they are creating. The students will discuss their research projects and what they have learned from the project. The president and CEO of Smart Mass Transit (SMT) Rail system, J.P. Mobasher will discuss the use of nanomagnetics within the SMT Rail system, which incorporates technologies for patents he developed for his environmentally sustainable transit system, and other uses of nanotechnology in transportation. A mechanical engineering graduate of Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal and an expert in automation and robotics, Mobasher’s 27 years of experience in these diverse but related fields have made his global vision of an inexpensive, energy efficient, sustainable and safe elevated transport system possible. Anyone interested in the uses and future of this cutting-edge technology in the Inland Empire is invited to attend. Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials at the atomic level to design and manufacture new and better materials and products. One nanometer equals one billionth of 1 meter. A sheet of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick. Due to quantum mechanical effects at the nanoscale, the physical properties of materials change as well as rules of manufacturing. This is the revolutionary new manufacturing process – and not a single technology.
