Our Upcoming Events


We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming meeting this Thursday, October 2, at 7:30 pm in 2301 Tolman Hall. We will be starting the elections process for the club, so please make sure to show up if you are interested in becoming an officer. The Nano Club is wholly student run—please consider getting involved!

Our meeting will feature a discussion of difficulties for transistors at the nanoscale and work being done at Berkeley to address these issues. As traditional transistor sizes reach the nanoscale, problems arise due to electrostatic and quantum effects. This creates complications for increasingly compact memory and faster processing. Come listen to EECS graduate student Reinaldo Vega, of the Tsu-Jae King group, give a talk on the challenges facing transistor design and operation at the nanoscale. More information and an abstract can be found below.

As always, we will be providing pizza and drinks. Please feel free to email us with any questions (kayte@berkeley.edu). We hope to see you there!

When: Thursday, October 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Where: 2301 Tolman Hall




Sunday, April 27, 2008, 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley


The 2008 Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum was a huge success! Thanks to all of our attendees and sponsors. Videos of the keynote speakers are now online.

The 2008 Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum will feature panels on nano electronics, solar technology, health care, business and public policy, as well as distinguished speakers such as
  • Dr. Supriyo Datta, Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University; Director, the NASA Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing
  • Dr. Liwei Lin, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, UC Berkeley; Co-Director, Berkeley Sensor & Actuator Center
  • Dr. Donald Lucas, Staff Scientist, Environment Energy Technologies Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

A poster session and break-out sessions round out the agenda.

The Campanile What is the Berkeley Nanotechnology Club?

Welcome to the Berkeley Nanotechnology Club (BNC)!

Given its breadth of strengths, UC Berkeley is uniquely positioned as a leader in nanoscale science & engineering. The BNC has been created to be the go-to information source for Berkeley students and alumni interested in connecting with nanotechnology resources at Berkeley and in the Bay Area.

The ultimate goals of the club are to solidify Berkeley's position as a nanotechnology leader, and to foster an interdisciplinary community that promotes knowledge sharing and nano-entrepreneurship.

The BNC has members from across the Berkeley campus. Membership is free, and it will ensure that you're kept up-to-date with everything nano at Berkeley.
