 (1) Deadlines- without them, little would get done.  So, be aware that the deadline for abstracts for the 2005 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop, this year in Kyoto, is coming up shortly - February 15th! (http://smdlbest.snu.ac.kr/snw/main.html)  Not too soon after is the deadline for abstracts for IEEE-NANO 2005 in Nagoya - February 28th. 

(http://www.mein.nagoya-u.ac.jp/IEEE-NANO/IEEE-NANO-2005/)  These conferences have been enormously successful in the past, and this year promises to be no different. 

 

Also, I want to thank those who have contributed news to this edition of the NTC Newsletter. Your submissions are not just welcome, but are central to the goals of keeping our community informed.  Please send your job openings, conference announcements, equipment wanted or for sale, news of your graduate students, or anything else that you can think of.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me personally. 

 

Regards,

 

Gary H. Bernstein
