Leadership In Nanomaterials Awards Go To IBM Research And Clarkson
The winners of the LEADERSHIP IN NANOMATERIALS awards were presented on October 27th at BCC's sixth annual conference NANOPARTICLES 2003, in Cambridge, MA, USA.
Since its inception in 1998, this conference has evolved with the industry and research community, each year covering a range of technology and business topics relevant to producers, end-users, researchers and investors in the nanomaterials field.
For the first time this year, the conference recognized the company that has shown the most leadership in nanomaterials commercialization and the research institution that has shown the most leadership in nanomaterials R&D. The winners were IBM Research and Clarkson University’s Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP). Dr. Glenn Held and Prof. S.V. Babu received the awards on behalf of IBM Research and Clarkson University, respectively. The winning company and institution were selected by an online voting process.
Nanoparticles 2003 concluded with greater optimism for future nanomaterials markets, which were estimated at the conference to reach several billion of dollars in the next ten years. The conference concluded with a visit to MIT, where the conference attendees toured laboratories, met professors, and heard about the nano-related activities of the Center for Materials Science and Engineering (CMSE), and MIT's Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies.
