Does size matter? Is it really worth tens of
billions of dollars to study things just because they are
small? Mother Nature thinks so. She constructs the most
complicated machines on earth - animals - using processes that
nanotechnologists are trying to copy. Some humans are trying to
steal these ideas and use them to improve healthcare, optimize use of
resources, and increase our standard of living. Such successfully
enabled innovation via nanotechnology might generate an economic engine that could drive the North East Ohio economy.
Come dance around these issues with Alexis Abramson,
Vice President of Technology Innovation Commercialization and
Nanotechnology at Nortech, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering at Case Western Reserve University and Steven
Eppell, Director of the Nanoscale Orthopedic Biomaterials Laboratory,
Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve
University.
