Nanotechnology is a new and revolutionary field that broadens the understanding of materials. Laboratories in prestigious universities across the USA and Europe are currently involved in a major R&D in a race to discover the secrets of nanoscale and its potential to transform Materials Science. It is expected that in the coming years the knowledge gained will produce significant changes.
Five Roberto Rocca Fellows involved in cutting edge research shared their thoughts on how they think Nanotechnology will impact the steel industry in the future. The Workshop was moderated by Federico Williams, Full Professor at the University of Buenos Aires and former department head in CINI. For the conference, each Fellow delivered a short presentation. The workshop was opened by Federico Williams who lead an introductory presentation to Nanotechnology. The Workshop concluded with a session of Questions and Answers.
