The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) Nanotechnology Committee is sponsoring an Industry Session at APEC 2013 titled "Nanotechnology Applications in Power Electronics." Taking place on Thursday morning, March 21, 2013, from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA, the session will provide a broad overview of current nanotechnology applications, materials and opportunities, with particular emphasis on power electronics. Nanotechnology is already being applied in semiconductors, components, packaging and power storage designs. PSMA's Industry Session is geared to attendees who need to anticipate and identify potential opportunities for this emerging technology. The six speakers to be featured at the session are experts from industry, research and government whose expertise enables them to provide an overview of the current applications for nanotechnology and to provide insights on market opportunities. Co-chairs of the session are Chuck Mullett of ON Semiconductor and Dr. Anthony Laviano of NANOWorld®. Chuck Mullet stated that the session "will not only be very informative but will also provide an opportunity for attendees to interact with other professionals who are active in the evolving application of nanotechnology in materials and designs." Laviano added: "We encourage people to register for APEC 2013, make plans to attend the Industry Session on Nanotechnology, and to consider participating in the other PSMA sponsored meetings during the week."
