The results of a worldwide evaluation study on nanotechnology will be
presented on Tuesday, February 10, 9 am - 5 pm, 1998, at the Rosslyn
Westpark Hotel (Holiday Inn), 1900 N. Fort Meyer Drive, Arlington, VA
(703-807-2000, station Rosslyn on the Blue and Orange subway lines).
We expect experts from universities, industry and over twelve federal
agencies. The study is cosponsored by NSF, NIH, ONR, NASA, NIST, DOE,
AFOSR, and DOC. Two reference volumes will be available at the
workshop. There is no registration fee. The basic information
