Welcome

TNI welcomes the premier nanotechnology conference in the world to Texas, presented by Nano Science and Technology Institute (NSTI), May 3 - 7, 2009 in Houston, Texas. Please visit www.nsti.org/nanotech2009/ for more information.

Read the Welcome Letter from TNI President Kelly Kordzik.

Read Nano-Hype by David M. Berube, and reviewed by TNI President Kelly Kordzik:

"Dr. Berube has done an excellent job of describing the people and organizations behind the nanotechnology revolution. This book is a must read for anyone wishing to invest in nanotechnology or manage a nanotech company. Many years from now, when nanotechnology has permeated every aspect of our lives, Dr. Berube's book will still be referred to for telling how it all got started."

TEXAS EMERGING TECHNOLOGY FUND

TNI is pleased to have supported passage of the Texas Emerging Technology Fund by the Texas legislature and will support its renewal in this next session. Click here to read more about the Fund and associated efforts .

 
NANOTECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY REMEMBERS SCIENTIST RICHARD SMALLEY
 
Professor Richard Smalley, a gifted chemist who shared a Nobel Prize for the discovery of buckyballs, helped pioneer the field of nanotechnology and became one of the world's most notable nanoscientist died last year after a six-year struggle with cancer. In the decade since he became a Nobel Laureate, Professor Smalley pushed Rice University , the Houston community, and Texas to the forefront of nanotechnology research. As a respected science leader, mentor, and friend, Professor Smalley greatly influenced many members of the Texas Nanotechnology Initiative. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Professor Smalley.
