NanotechItaly 2013 call for papers

Primary tabs

Read time: 1 min

Nowadays, Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) demand a problem-solving approach, aiming to excellence in science, industrial leadership, responsiveness to societal challenges. These goals are guiding Horizon 2020, which will foster European growth in the coming years and NanotechItaly 2013 will showcase how nanotechnologies, together with the other Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), are instrumental to promote competitiveness and innovation in priority areas also relevant for the national economy.
The Conference, scheduled from 27 to 29 November 2013, in Venice, Italy, will be an opportunity to deepen relevant issues and establish useful contacts for the participation to the Horizon 2020 calls, expected to be published at the beginning of 2014. Among the other themes of the three days event will be: healthcare and wellbeing; quality in the food value chain; new materials and processes; safety and social impacts;

The call for papers deadline is July 15th, 2013. Contributions should address scientific and industrial developments in the topic areas of the conference and can be in the form of an oral presentation or a poster.

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

A group of researchers from Hokkaido University has provided the first experimental evidence of the existence of a new type of chemical bond: the single-electron covalent bond, theorized by Linus Pauling in 1931 but never verified until now. Using derivatives of hexaarylethane (HPE), the scientists were able to stabilize this unusual bond between two carbon atoms and study it with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction. This discovery opens new perspectives in understanding bond chemistry and could lead to the development of new materials with innovative applications.

After nearly a year of review, on September 25, a study was published in Nature that has sparked a lot of discussion, especially among chemists. A group of researchers from Hokkaido University synthesized a molecule that experimentally demonstrated the existence of a new type of chemical bond, something that does not happen very often.
