systems powered by breakthroughs in nanotechnology providing performance boost
and new functionality to Internet of Things, biotechnology, 3-D printing,
materials science, energy storage, robotics, artificial intelligence,
autonomous vehicles, and quantum computing. The onset of nanotechnology has
enabled billions of people and businesses all around the globe to connect via
mobile devices that are aided by unprecedented processing power and storage capacity.
This leads to unlimited access to information and knowledge thus changing the
way products are being designed, manufactured, and sold to consumers.Speaker:Dr. Rezal Khairi Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer, NanoMalaysiaDr. Rezal Khairi Ahmad holds a PhD in
