Nanoelectronics 

Symposium Scope & Objectives

The Nanoelectronics Symposium aims to advance the field by exploring cutting-edge materials—such as semiconductor nanowires, quantum dots, topological and superconducting materials, and 2D materials—and their applications in ultra-fast, miniaturised, and energy-efficient devices. It will connect innovations in design and fabrication, focusing on advanced techniques like sub-10 nm lithography, atomic layer deposition, and self-assembly for scalable production. The symposium will highlight quantum phenomena in next-generation applications, including quantum computing hardware (e.g., single-electron transistors, molecular-scale transistors) and ultra-sensitive sensing. It will also address future energy-efficient, adaptive, and brain-inspired computing paradigms covering neuromorphic circuits (e.g., memristors), spintronics, and bio-inspired systems using biological components. Applications in AI, cognitive computing, medical physics, and biomedical fields (e.g., wearable nanosensors and drug delivery) will be emphasised, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and practical pathways for mass production and real-world impact.
