The German Center for Research and Innovation invites you to a discussion, art exhibit and reception on "Nanovation New York - Discovering the Invisible Frontier" at the German House. 

Nanotech, the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, is an innovative technology - but how does it affect our daily lives? Nanotech has been utilized to alleviate global problems we currently face, such as cutting-edge cancer treatments, water purification, and increased efficiency in energy technology. What future developments can we expect from this high-tech research? Nanotechnology experts from Germany and North America will discuss its current impact in the fields of energy, electronics, medicine, and science. The panel will also address nanotechnology’s application in the business sphere, bridging the gap between research and development. 

Following the discussion will be the opening reception of the “NanoArt” exhibition, a series that features nano images from laboratories at the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE), the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), the University Alliance Metropolis Ruhr, and the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
