The 2010 International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICONN 2010)brings together the Australian and International community working in the field of nanoscale science and technology to discuss new and exciting advances in the field. ICONN 2010 will cover nanostructure growth, synthesis, fabrication, characterisation, device design, modelling, testing and applications.

Scientists have been able to kill an infectious parasite using non-toxic gold nanoparticles and laser beams.
“Our first target is Toxoplamosis gondii, a parasite that infects one in three people and causes problems especially in the young and old, and people with a compromised immune system says Michael Cortie from the University of Technology Sydney, speaking on behalf of his team at ICONN 2010 the international nanotechnology conference in Sydney.
