Thousands of leading researchers, scientists, engineers and technology developers participate in the annual TechConnect World and Nanotech conferences to identify new technology trends, development tools, product opportunities, R&D collaborations, and commercialization partners. TechConnect is pleased to feature 2017 Technical Symposia Chair Spotlight stories to our community.

Symposium Spotlight: Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) - TechConnect speaks with Ron Munson, Global Lead at Carbon Capture at the Global CCS Institute and TechConnect Symposium Chair.

Symposium Spotlight: Micro & Bio Fluidics, Lab-on-Chip (LOC)) - Learn about TechConnect's Micro & Bio Fluidics, Lab-on-Chip (LOC) Symposium and the greatest areas of interest and possible applications in the field. Dr. Edward Furlani of the University at Buffalo will be chairing the symposium.

Active technologies seeking collaboration and funding opportunities. Featured innovators participated at the 2016 TechConnect World conference, Washington, DC.

Graphene Quantum Dots Based on Coal Sources, Dotznano - Most quantum-dots available today are extremely expensive and toxic. Our graphene quantum-dots are derived from coal by a cheap and efficient patented production process. Due to their source, the dots are water-soluble, nontoxic and resist photobleaching. This allow Dotznano to profitably penetrate the quantum dot market in several different applications. View Summary Here.

Printed Organic Sensors, using polymer inks with piezoelectric, pyroelectric or electrostrictive properties, on Large Area Flexible Surfaces (320mm x 380mm), CEA Tech -Innovative polymer materials, such as PVDF-TrFE, exhibits electrical properties similar to the existing conventional inorganic compounds. As they can be easily formulated in liquid solutions, these inks (combined with additive printing techniques, e.g. screen-print) allow the manufacturing of large area, flexible surfaces sensitive to touch, pressure or proximity.
