We are pleased to announce that Department of Applied Physics (DAP), School of Physical Sciences, Babasaheb BhimraoAmbedkar University (A Central University), Lucknow, India is planning to organize a three days Internat ional Conference on “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology”during 22-24, September 2017.

Nanoscience and nanotechnology has made great ststrides in the development of core technology in the 21

century. It is the branch of science and technology that deals with the things on thenanometric scale. It is well established that the properties of materials at this scale are entirely different from those at the bulk level; fullerenes are known to be superconducting, carbon nanotubes have optical, electrical and mechanical behaviour entirely different from those in bulk materials. The physics of Quantum Dots open some new aspects of physics. The subject is so exciting and versatile that it has made inroads in all branches of science. One talks recent trends of nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanobiotechnology, nanomedicine, nanorobotics etc. Nanomaterials play important role in the modern development of science and technology due to its small size and large surface area. Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize certain areas, such as semiconductors, pharmaceutical compounds and composite materials. The total societal impact of nanotechnology is expected to be much greater than that of the silicon integrated circuits because it has applications in many more fields than electronics.

The objective of this conference is to hold an open deliberation on the state of art development in this important area of R&D, a first-hand assessment of the existing challenges with an ambition to arrive at aprospective solution and define future strategy. It will provide a proper forum where senior academicians/experts and young researchers/scholars would get ample opportunity to interact and discuss the recent trends in the materials and technological developments in the subject area of their interest so as to have a fusion of viable ideas to be realized in future as a gift to the youngsters by their expert

stpredecessors. This is the need of 21 century India for launching step towards self-reliance for technological empowerment in the area of global competition. In order to have an intense interaction among the researchers in this field, following topics will be covered during the conference:

ª Synthesis and Fabrication of Nanomaterialsª Characterization of Nanomaterialsª Applications of Nanomaterialsª Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubesª Nanobiotechnologyª Nanophotonicsª Nanodevices and sensorsª Properties of Nanocompositesª Thin/thick film technologyª NanoToxicology and Green Technology ª Theoretical/Computational Aspects It is proposed to have twenty to twenty-fourspecialized lectures on various topics related to contemporary developments this area. Evening lectures will also be organized and delivered by distinguished material scientists and nanotechnologists on the future direction of nanomaterials research and their applications.The objective of the conference is abroad discussion on the overall trends in thechemistry of material synthesis and its characterization, and the need to strengthen scientific & technological research, development and commercialization of value-added products. The conference aims to bring together academicians, scientists, engineers, industry researchers and scholar students and above all the policy makers to exchange and share their experiences in this field and bring out a consensus to formulate the guidelines in this area. The main objective of the conference is to formulate follow - up actions and identifying pilot activities to test innovative approaches. Hence, it is a unique opportunity for exchange of scientific knowledge and planning of joint research and other co-operative actions. The conference will feature keynote addresses; a number of plenary sessions invited talks and contributed lectures focusing on specific tenets of processing, morphology, structure, properties and application of materials. Additionally, there will be several posters and the five best poster presentations will be selected to receive an award.

We are pleased to announce that the selected papers

presented at the conference will be published in peer-reviewed

international journals.
