European Science Awards honour
'the best that Europe has to offer' [Date: 2008-03-13]
"Andrea Ferrari carried out his Marie Curie sponsored PhD at Cambridge, UK, where he is still based today. In addition to the Marie Curie prize, he is also a recipient of one of the first European Research Council grants, which will enable him to carry on his research into carbon nanotubes for the next five years."

By now, Eurpean prizes and international awards. And coming soon, high revenues and great profits. Well, we think we are in the right way to show us how. It's easy to find investors. Look at this article below, please,...
--------------------------CNT@Cambridge 2007 Symposium - A mini-symposium on the science and application of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)

Over 150 delegates gathered in Cambridge on last Friday (30 November) to attend the first CNT@Cambridge 2007 symposium. The theme of the symposium is the science and application of carbon nanotubes. CNTs are cylinders of rolled graphene sheets which can potentially be used in high-performance nanocomposites, nano-electronic devices and biological applications. At the symposium, Prof. Malcolm Mackley from this department addressed a keynote speech on "The microstructure and rheology of carbon nanotube (CNT) suspensions". The event was initiated by a group of students and post-doctoral researchers who share the same vision: to provide a platform for CNT researchers to exchange ideas and for industry delegates to interact with leading CNT scientists in Europe. Dr. James McGregor and Anson Ma from this department were serving on the symposium organising committee.
The symposium was generously sponsored by Churchill College, Nanoholdings LLC, ENSAM, AIXTRON and SonicBio, with participation from both academic journals (Nature and Science) and the industry (Bayer MaterialScience, Oxford Instruments, Nanocyl, Nokia, Siemens, Thomas Swan). The proceedings of the symposium will be published by Springer and will appear as a special issue of the International Journal of Material Forming.
