The 10th CHInano brought together many big names in the nanotech world. Among them is Andre Konstantin Geim, a Russia-born Dutch-British physicist who was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with his colleague and former student Konstantin Novoselov for his work on graphene. Andre shared his knowledge and insights on graphene and two-dimensional materials at the main forum with other 21 academicians and about 1,000 audiences from around the world. 

 

The event also congregated more than 1,600 globally cutting-edge nanotech-related inventions, including a highly flexible, collapsible multi-junction solar cell from Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Suzhou Institute of Nano-tech and Nano-bionics and nano-wipes that help keep vehicles’ windshields clear regardless how hard a rain or snowfall is.
