MACE Conference, June 2009

There will be a postgraduate conference, now this time in School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, commonly known as MACE, The University of Manchester.

My presentation will be at 11:15 in the morning, on Thursday, 11th June, 2009, in room C3, George Begg Building, The University of Manchester, Manchester.

I will cover the area of generation and mechanism of metal-oxide nanoparticles by continuous-wave laser ablation in liquid. This will be my last presentation for MACE, my second registered school for the multi-disciplinary area of generation and characterisation of nanoparticles and lasers.

New online community for Nano- related people: nanopaprika.eu


This is really interesting; the Nano- community is really evolving. There is a new online based community for Nano- related people. The site is well served with chance to meet people and one can discuss things online, during live chat. You can search people of your interest using easy and advance search tools and add them as your friends to remain in contact.

The site is full with information related to conference, workshops and other Nano- related events. Members can also add events easily. One can also post the photos and videos and can have a discussion over it.

Additionally, if member thinks that the information is too broad, there are 'Thematic groups', where one can find the people of specific interest. A thematic group can also be created, expand by inviting others and start fruitful discussion. However, each group need to be approved by editors, which is understandable. I have one group there, named as, 'NPs by Laser Ablation in Liquid'. Though that e-group is not very active uptil now, but I hope it will go on...

At the end I would like to appreciate the efforts and time, given by the editor of nanopaprika.
