Feds seek help applying nanotech to defense

Abstract:
Federal agencies and large defense contractors are looking for small businesses with good ideas and the technical expertise to pull them off.

The goal is to solve homeland security problems and other issues ranging from defense to public health and infrastructure safety, participants learned earlier this month at the Arizona Nanotechnology Cluster Symposium.

The third annual symposium attracted more than 350 businesspeople and academics for a day to the campus of Scottsdale Community College. All had an interest in nanotechnology, the scientific field focusing on materials and devices as small as atoms and molecules.
