Track 3: Nanofabrication
Nanofabrication refers to the planning procedure of nanomaterial and devices that are measured in nano meters. One nano meter is one millionth (10-9) of a meter. It helps in parallel processing of material over a large scale. It is an economical method where by large scale economy is manufactured using an equivalent machinery and style and little amount of material. Component sizes that were in tens of micro meters became single digit micro meters, and then hundreds of nano meters, and then went down to a few tens of nano meters where they stand today. As a result, what want to be called micro fabrication was rebranded as nanofabrication. Nanofabrication can be divided into three major areas: thin films, lithography, and etching. Each of these is vast subject areas in and of themselves.

Track 6: Nano Weapons
Nano weapon is a term use in military technology currently under development which seeks to exploit the power of nanotechnology in the modern battlefield. Nanoparticles utilized in different military materials can potentially hazard in nature to the soldiers that are wearing the material, if the material is allowed to warn out. As the uniform wear down it is likely for nanomaterial to separate and enter into the soldiers bodies. Soldiers having nanoparticles entering the soldiers bodies would be very unhealthy and will create seriously harm to them. There is not a lot of information on what the actual damage to the soldiers would be, but there have been studies on the effect of nanoparticles entering a fish through its skin. The studies showed that the different soldiers suffered from varying degrees of brain damage. This brain damage will create serious negative effect: the studies also say that the results cannot be taken as an accurate example of what would happen to soldiers if nanoparticles entered their bodies.

Track 11: Nanolithography
The term nanolithography originate from the Greek words “nanos”, meaning Dwarf; “lithos”, meaning rock; and “grapho” meaning to write. Therefore, the literal meaning is tiny writing on rocks. Nanolithography is that the science of etching, writing or printing to modify a material surface with structures under 100nm. The purpose of nanolithography is that the shrinking of electronic devices, which allows for more electronics parts to be, crammed into smaller spaces, i.e., smaller integrated circuits that result in smaller devices, which are faster and cheaper to manufacture since less materials are required. This also increases performance and response times because the electrons only got to travel very short distances.

Nano photonics is considered a branch of electrical engineering, optics, and optical engineering as well as being a branch of nanotechnology. Nano photonics includes metallic components that can transport and focus light through surface plasmon polaritons. One of the great promises of Nano photonics the possibility that light is trapped in optical cavities inside three-dimensional photonic band gap crystals. An optical cavity in a photonic crystal is manufactured by either adding or removing high index of refraction material, which yields a donor or an acceptor, respectively. The mirrors of the optical cavities are formed by the surrounding photonic crystal with a band gap. It has been predicted that light is trapped in such a photonic crystal cavity in a small volume as small as 1/100th of a wavelength cubed. It is a challenge to embed such controlled point defects inside three-dimensional photonic band gap crystals to attain functional systems.
