The March 17, 2012 news item about the University of Waterloo’s 3rd annual Nanotechnology Engineering Design Symposium notes,
The symposium is on Friday, March 23 from 10 am until 6:30 pm in the Davis Centre on the University of Waterloo Campus.
… Seventeen student project teams will present their prototypes that includes solutions for improved HIV and chemotherapy drug effectiveness and HIV detection, detector systems for spoiled meat and explosives, a novel display technology that works on glass and mirrors, a flexible electricity storage device, an exoskeleton glove-based human-computer interface and a high strength and a removable and residual free adhesive inspired by the nanotechnology present in the Gecko foot.
It’s a free event and visitors are welcome to browse the displays throughout the day. To get a feeling for what it might be like, here’s a video of the 2nd annual event in 2011.
The University of Waterloo’s Nanotechnology Engineering Degree programme is unique in North America according to the program’s home page.
