Zhong Lin 'ZL' Wang Center
for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Zhong Lin (ZL) Wang received his Ph.D. in Physics
from Arizona State University in 1987. He is currently a Professor,
the Director
of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in the Georgia
Institute of Technology. Dr. Wang has authored and co-authored
four scientific reference and textbooks and over 300 journal articles,
edited and co-edited eight volumes of books on nanotechnology.
He is the world’s top 25 most cited authors in nanotechnology
for the last decade (ISI). He was elected to the European Academy
of Science in 2002, has received the 2001 S.T. Li prize for Outstanding
Contribution in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, the 2000 Georgia
Tech Faculty Research Award, and the 1999 Burton Medal from Microscopy
Society of America. His most recent research focuses on oxide nanobelts
and nanowires, in-situ techniques for nano-scale measurements,
self-assembly nanostructures, fabrication of nano devices, and
properties of magnetic nanostructures. |

| Abstract: Global nanotechnology initiative is inspiring a lot of research in nanomaterials, which are the basis of nanotechnology. It has been widely believed that who controls materials will control the future of science and technology. Nature has the best nanotechnology, from mesoporous bone structure, dog nose, eagle eyes to shark skin. Biological systems are ideal nanotechnology factories that scientists can learn how to develop nanotechnology, and in return nanotechnology can advance biomedical research. This presentation will focus on what is nanotechnology, what are the developing directions in nanotechnology, how can research in new nanomaterials promote the development of nanotechnology and biotechnology. The talk will use the research results generated in my group to illustrate the applications of nanobelts of functional oxides in the fields of nanosensors, nanotransducers, field effect transistors, nanoresonators and nanocantilevers. | |||
