 και εμείς ακούσουμε τη Νανατεξνολογική Κομφερντζή. Ποιος είσαι τεχνολογικός. Είμαι ο Σεργιος Λογοθετήδης, Προφέστος της Νανατεχνολογικής, από την Αριστοτήλου Υνυβερσίτης και ο Δημιουργίας της Νανατεχνολογικής Λαμπ. Είσαι ο ίδιος της Νανατεχνολογικής Κομφερντζης. Ναι, αυτή η Νανατεχνολογικής Κομφερντζή ξεκούσε 16 χρόνια πριν, και πριν παίρνει σε αυτή τη δημιουργία, σε αυτή τη δημιουργία και στο κομφερντζης. Η δημιουργία είναι Πορτο Παλασς, τα τελευταία 7 χρόνια. Εδώ έχεις την εξιμπισία και η δημιουργία που έχεις, και οι πόστας, και η δημιουργία και όλες αυτές τις δημιουργίες που παίρνεις. Για παράδειγμα, οι δημιουργίες που παίρνεις, και οι δημιουργίες που παίρνεις. Τι πόση εξιμπισία έχεις εδώ, πριν? Έχουμε εξιμπισίες από τη δημιουργία, δεύτερες αποτελείες για την Νανατεχνολογικής, ή πρότακτης ή κομφανοί που παίρνουν με τους νέους κομφερντζης, ή δεύτερα αξιμπισίες που παίρνεις από τη δημιουργία ή δεύτερα εξιμπισίες που παίρνουν με τα δημιουργία, για να προσδομιθεί και εξιμπισία από τις άλλα αξιμπισίες, όπως φτιάχθονται να διαφορεθούν τα δημιουργία, το οποίο καλόιξαν να έρχεται από την αγκοδογική, ή σε εξιμπισία τους τα δημιουργία. Έχουμε εξιμπισίες, σχεδογικές, ή τεχνολογικά αξιμπισίες, από διεύτερες ανθρώπους από Ευρώπη, Ασία και Αμερικα. Και εδώ είναι ένας από τους κέντρες κέντρες, είναι το LTFN κέντρες στις εδώ, με ένας από τους κομμάτρες που έχουν χρησιμοποιήσει. Ναι, αυτό είναι το Νανατεχνολογικό λαμπ-κέντρες, με διεύτερες διεύτερες, ένας από τους είναι από το 3D βιωπρίντερ, ένας από τους διεύτερες που είναι δυνατό για να κάνουν εξπαρυμές σε 3D βιωπρίντερες, για να διεύθυνουν διεύτερες εξαρρυμές και να εξαρρύνουν σε 3D κομμάτρες. Υπάρχει το next few years' results from this field, να κάνουν όρες ή άλλες πράγματα της ανθρώπης, but of course you need several years of application and results in order to develop and have final product in the market. So I'll do separate video here a little bit later. It's also here with the OET. This is another company which is a startup, a spin-out of this nanotechnology lab. They are working on organic electronic stuff like organic photovoltaics. Actually here they exhibit various demonstrators, producing light or using from automotive or different applications upstairs in the roof garden of this hotel. They have six other demonstrators. Also they work on organic light emitting diodes. They have some demonstrators. Behind them are other companies like Fuji Dematics or other activities which are related to Hoppe. Hoppe is the booth of Hellenic Organic Wind Electronic Association. It's an association with 40 companies in the area of nanotechnology and especially on organic electronics. They organize activities and disseminate and try to bring the members to work together with other members all over the world. I'll do a separate video there after. Nanonet is a network started in 2013 with 600 members, organizations, universities, companies all over the world. It started from Nanotechnology Lab as I mentioned in 2003. Nowadays they work together and support also these activities, the nanotechnology activities and spread all over the world from Korea to San Francisco, from Brazil to Australia and India. So members of this association, clusters let's say, in nanotechnologies and nanobiotechnologies coming every year, most of them 200 or 250, coming, meeting here for example tomorrow they have the General Assembly meeting. They will meet to say and share ideas, share results, exchange information and maybe new scientists moving from one place to the other to find the proper material to work or to submit new proposals, European or international or bilateral. This is the purpose mostly of this nanonet. What are people talking about over there? This is a meeting point for now and today you have these much-making activities. Many people from various, let's say, entities from companies, from research center try to meet each other and transfer the results of their research or they won't answer to make business as investors or to communicate, cooperate in various European or international projects. This is the purpose of this much-making. The meeting takes place in the middle of this nanotechnology event like today, which is Wednesday. Around 230 meetings will take place during the day. Now you are close to the lunchtime so they will finalize for the lunchtime. And here there was an amazing plenary yesterday. It was very technical, right? With some professors around the world? Yes, every Tuesday afternoon we have the plenary session where people invited distinguished professors or researchers all over the world. Actually yesterday you have people distinguished professors from North America, from Canada and from the United States. They give three brilliant presentations coming from three different areas, the area of chemistry, green chemistry in producing energy with professor Mario Leclerc and professor Pandelidis Socrates who gave a talk on two-dimensional semiconductors which is the future of ionorganic semiconductors and the third presentation of professor Nikolas Pépas who gave a talk on the nanoscale systems in nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. It was kind of like the cutting edge of what they are doing they were presenting, right? Yes, it was a cutting edge and actually in short, in less than two hours they gave what's going on in this conference bringing together all these people coming from different areas, chemistry, biology, medicine, engineering. They have the opportunity in short time to give the cutting edge, the state of the art and beyond who are going next years in terms of science, in terms of technology in terms of application, innovation will come and how we can solve some of the problems arrives for example with two-dimensional materials the option of semiconductors the talk given by professor Pandelidis or the talk given by professor Mario Leclerc who said that ok next years you will see photovoltaics, organic photovoltaics to reach silicon technology efficiency or even above them. They are already at 16.8? 16.8 it was, yes. It's very close to the 20 of something. It's very close to 20 which is the silicon technology which means that you are close and in few years you will see this efficiency of organic photovoltaics not only in the lab but also in the production first and second to optimize the materials and the process in order to be very close to the case of and to compare with the silicon to compare with the silicon technology. Of course nowadays this technology does not compare with silicon but is going to apply in different other applications. We are moving to the area where there are several posters in two hours you will have the poster session. Who is making those? Could you repeat again? Presenters. Yes these posters come from young people mostly but also from older people there are several presentations some hundreds of them. Every day you have some difference either coming from organic electronic area or coming from nano-medicine or coming from nanoscience and nanotechnology various posters in various fields especially two days ago, three days ago on saturday and sunday you have some posters here around 60-70 posters from young people who are coming from the research coming from the schools are actually started on saturday 29th of this year of June every year 120 students 120 students coming from around 28 countries many European countries but also from other destinations Asia and America as well. Let's have a look here so this is one of the workshop running now some of the sessions you see several people and this is the workshop on the clinical nano-medicine for cancer for example. How many rooms like this? You have six rooms at the same time running one of them is as you have seen on nano-medicine targeting on cancer applications but there are other in parallel now behind you have the meeting for women in nano-science and nanotechnology it's the other one behind there here I'm not sure which one let's check if they're busy right now let me check this was okay it was yesterday okay this is the graphene and two dimensional materials workshop as you have seen here you see several of this kind of sessions on workshops here are the... the papers what can lead when they present a paper can it do a big change in the industry sometimes? Yes you hope so because okay you see three, four hundred of this poster presentation here some of them will be fast run faster and you see for them some ideas some first results some proof of concept in the next two, three, four years to be much closer to the end product for the companies in order to make product, real product either I see this one for synthesis for example chemical performance or the formation of golden nanoparticle which are proper for multifunctional properties and each of those posters are different group of people or different students maybe Yes exactly this is from different groups from all over the world I mentioned area around 60 different countries representatives of countries new people, young people or professor distinguished or people from companies are coming meeting here in order to present the results either with smaller presentations or with the poster presentations and here we are moving around in the hall where there is another another area this is a bigger area let's say the bigger room where you start the events or you have more larger workshops to participate I don't know which one is running for example this room just now but is one of the larger rooms here let's go out again here is also professor Ravi Silva one of the organizers of several of conference and workshop and I'm sure he wants to say to say a few things he gave in the beginning an opening of East 4A project, these are organic big electronics and very interesting exciting talk about the fourth generation of solar cells So what's happening in solar I hope I can do a separate interview with you but what can you say a little bit about is flexible solar this technology going to take over the whole world? Well I'm not too sure about whether it's going to take over the world but it's going to be a significant component of the energy mix it's very interesting to come and give this talk at the premier nanotechnology conference in Europe and particularly to talk about the democratization of solar and democratization of energy because Greece and Thessaloniki itself is really the birthplace of democracy and what giving stuff to the people is about and what we are trying to do in electricity is to make it cheap enough as an equal say in it and I think professor Lugatidis' group in particular is playing a major role in being able to make solar cells using organic materials cheaply on large areas that is going to be accessible to everyone and clean so it's renewables I'm kind of hoping that things would be like you could say that it's free energy forever but it's not right because there's a certain life or any chance we might have free energy forever absolutely so the theme of my talk is really about free energy and it's free energy by 2035 and that's based on facts rather than any fictitious numbers it's purely based on the deployment of solar what we have found out is that every time there is a doubling of the deployment of solar there is a significant decrease in the price so at present in 2018 there were 100 gigawatts of solar energies available we believe at present the price is compatible working at around 15 cents per kilowatt hour for the delivery of solar by 2035 the cost would be less than 3 cents and once that happens it's going to be half the price of any fossil fuel based energy so as a result of that it has to be provided to people and it's the provision that is going to cost rather than the entity so energy will be free but the provision of energy much like the mobile phone companies will be where the providers make money building the smart grid exactly and the smart grid is also something that is being looked at within this conference and as a result we can start looking at really the next generation being born at nano-textronic nice so I hope later I can catch you we can do a reception for you to make to interview a bit about the whole event etc thank you Ravi going now inside to the again to the exhibition area you are here in the corridor coming from reception and where you are ready now almost in few minutes to start the breaks for lunch it's ready it's also when people network in the lunch break yes you want to have all people together in this exhibition area having the lunch or the breaks for coffee in order to network and discuss this is the beauty of this multi event brings people for all this area of the planet but they give the opportunity for networking making meetings presenting their results around 25 european projects are running in parallel are presenting the results they have their posters but also meetings with EU and European and USA for nano manufacturing and nano fabrication will take place on Friday for example or other meetings people signing agreements for example nano technology lab our lab will be signing an agreement tomorrow at noon time lunch time with turkish nano technology center from sabasi university so many of these kind of activities, cooperations or agreements will take place networking, young people to meet professors to start talking about how for mobility, for worker or asking for empty spaces, positions in various university companies so all these activities or other people who try to build consortia to submit proposals are the proper area to work together and this networking together with much making activities you passed earlier few minutes ago, it's some of the activities of course behind all this people after staying 12, 13 hours within this area within this building they want to have some social life also and the social life it's given through let's say the galite dinner you have yesterday night or today in the afternoon after 5 o'clock you will have the beach bar activities for all people will move with buses nearby 40, 50 kilometers from here in order to relax a bit and to discuss or to swim let's say but in a different or to work together and to cooperate in a different relaxing way and here's Aristotle University a lot of the base of what you've done yes this is the Aristotle University many other labs or activity which take place within this are present in this booth for various areas coming from physics, chemistry from material science from medicine or from engineering, chemical engineering other areas they present their results various activities it's worth to see inside each of them what they presented and what are the beauties there are around 40, 50 of this kind of labs in Aristotle University and as I mentioned earlier actually from Aristotle University started 2003 the activities with a nanonet originally wants to bring together all these activities within the university and later to go outside from university in the country or if it was possible to live outside from the country and this is the success after the almost 17 years this nanonet has mentioned earlier around 600 members all over the world now and I see here EU Japan center yes quite important this is the EU Japan center for industrial cooperation you started this activity almost for 5 years first they came they have some networking activities and then decided the last 2-3 years coming every years and participated with the booth this is one of the gentlemen hi you're welcome ok this is from KAUST solar cell Saudi Arabia you've got lots of solar happening yes we are very lucky we have a lot of sun there and that's a perfect place to do research related to solar I think solar center has something special in terms of the portfolio we are covering organic photovoltaics we are working on pero sky we are also looking into existing technology which is a silicon technology but I think that challenge there is that when it comes to high pressure high temperature the performance is getting low and low and that's one of the challenges which center is going to handle in future so you come here at the nanotechnology conference to network and collaborate on the cutting edge for this kind of technologies right? yes and I think this is a very good form forum to come because you meet with the people who are working on the material side but you also meet with the people who are really at the last stage of the technology so they are companies very mixed of companies and universities you can see both sides I hope I can catch up with you later in another video also the people from iiu Japan from growth areas from Tokyo and Brussels they make all these activities for training, matchmaking events or try to accelerate cooperation good collaboration already and some people already you can see here and they say few words about these activities between iiu and Japan hello how are you, you're welcome here so you've been busy this week hopefully yes quite busy actually had a brokerage event a couple of meetings went super well so very happy about it cool, thanks a lot ok you can move a bit to other people hear it's a booth for example for a booth fellow I did a cool video with them talking about all their materials right here so you provide the whole priority table almost nice, that's cool and how's it been this conference good, we've had lots of good discussions with researchers with some existing customers and some potential new customers so it's been really positive to develop some new solutions hopefully, that's what we're always looking to do is help customers solve their problems and maybe look at materials in a slightly different way to think about what materials they might be able to use for their projects cool, thanks a lot and the video is really cool I'll post it later and others here other companies relate also with non-materials I'll post the video separately yes, ok and maybe you can there's going to be a lot a lot of content posted here you can see some others FocalSpec from Finland actually this gentleman he said he works about what do you have here we are a company called FocalSpec from Finland we are manufacturing sensors and systems based on a novel technology called line confocal imaging it has been developed by Finnish scientists who has been working at VTT which is the technical research centre of Finland so our company was a spin-off from VTT we are about 12 years old company we are manufacturing sensors and systems based on our novel technology our technology has some unique features such as 3D topography 3D tomography and to the intensity imaging can be acquired simultaneously with our sensors our main applications are demanding applications and niche applications of consumer electronics such as multi-layer transport material characterization or inspection of 3D curved glasses or Burheight inspection of lithium ion batteries and such others nice so I'll swing back to do a separate video later thank you let's move here to go Hello Kristina is left from an explosion for the lab and you have a lot of cool things happening in your lab is the cutting edge this is cutting edge actually this is a new method it's a new printing method where we go to a very low resolution and here you just see the device preparation how it's going on how low resolution nano level no not to the nano no close the lowest resolution we have achieved is 3.5 micrometer droplet size on a glass deposited and we are targeting for micrometer so it's 1000 nanometers nice and is it a good conference for you to network or you meet many people from European and also overseas places coming here very interesting talks and it's important also for European networking and direction of European projects nice I'll swing back later maybe I can do more interview with you and maybe you can just one more over here with the fluxim distributors right yes this is exhibitors companies presents several tools equipment for making job otherwise without this equipment it's impossible without this tool it's impossible to do this is from fluxim from some say few words about fluxim it's a Greek name right this is an all in one measurement system that's why it's called Pios all in one and it can do steady state transient and impedance measurement of organic solar cells this one is an organic solar cells solar cell and also for OLEDs so is it a solar cell you can measure you can characterize it in steady state that's what usually people do but you can also characterize it in transient domain and frequency domain so you can learn a lot more about charge transport so I'll swing back later we'll do a video here and the video also from the SID the slavery you see there are several cooperation all working within the project fluxim is a member of one of the bigger european project cornet running and coordinate with Aristotle University previous days you have the meeting here and you have also this review meetings so also fluxim contribute with their equipment in order to make some education and training exhibition to students of the schools you have several such companies which brings their equipment the training for the students and then remain exhibitors in both during the exhibition session or exhibition of this technology event would you say it's the most successful technology conference so far is from the point of view of running for 16 continuous annually years in the same place and bringing together all these 7 to 800 different people from 600 and having these strong networking activities in all level from students to the industry from spin-offs to large companies and having inside all this exhibition all these activities together I would say ok I'm proud to say that it's almost one of the biggest activities in the world combine all these things together one of the leading in Europe right one of the leading in Europe running for 16 years and supporting all these networks around all these people you mentioned and discuss just during this video so you obviously think that the nanotechnology is going to be huge in the future how can it accelerate how could we get to results even faster one is of course this kind of meetings, exhibitions but also the attraction of people from business and how fast brings the results from research and innovation to the real market this accelerates the business accelerates the field accelerates the results and gives more opportunities or solutions to society so measures will be taken bringing these results announced disseminate these results in order to be exploited in order to be closer to the makers policy makers or people who make the strategy for a country or for application to bring the application faster to results to give new positions to create new companies to produce new competitive results and to be export from let's say Europe or from Asia to Europe to bring to make this business between the various companies could be created several many I would say companies have been created the last few years you have seen also during the last 16 years how many companies started very early 10 years ago now it's established companies not only in this country but all over the Europe so faster collaboration it's just bigger investment going to accelerate things automatically or it's not only the investment ok it's not only nothing is happening automatically all needs people behind so it needs people to combine things to work together to bring the ideas in practice need to collaborate need these activities like you've seen before the EU and Japan sender these are some dissemination activities but also need venture capital to come closer for example on Friday you have the meeting on commercialization of results of nanotechnology where people from venture capital for investors they have to present or other people for various areas they have to give ideas who could accelerate and how will bring the results of nanotechnologies for various areas who will come faster to the business to the real product to the society and this is some of the tools of course governments, local governments they have to hear, learn put all these activities within their portfolio in order to accelerate this kind of activities and in order to get more from added value that this technology innovation brings to them So this is a big potential for Greece the region and the EU should support it more and more or how does it work? Local government local minister yesterday it was our minister or people from the local government and major as well as all new rector with new vice rectors they came all together to discuss several hours they saw their commitment how much they interested for this kind of application for this new kind of business all these people it's quite important that they commit and they want to get back results for the efforts their investments in the universities in the companies in the young people so they want to actually show with their commitment how much they invest and how much hope to have some returns from this value the added value given by nanotechnologies in various fields. So now we have a new EU commission coming in we have elections here in Greece all these new people should all consider this as a priority right? Yeah, you hope so that all this will be put here their portfolio and their strategy and they help the people, the companies but also they will be help in order to show some results in short time and not after 50 years with second next governments the second We want to see quick results and the green tech is the number one priority in the new EU and most governments are talking about green so we need a more affordable solar and this is one way to embrace it This is very good to mention the most green technologies ever our civilization thought or work so yesterday you have this talk from green chemistry to renewable energy so this all beauties comes from nanotechnologies how to bring how to cost less to energy in order to produce new products or new energy products like organic printed photovoltaics roll to roll production mass production low cost but also sensors, biosensors to be produced by roll to roll for low cost pads for example or other application it's quite important because reduce the cost used by many people for many cases mass production, roll to roll for example it's this nano manufacturing as mentioned between EU and USA you are going to discuss on Friday is one of the opportunities to see how can be done sustainable and how can succeed and bring massive results and products in the next few years from lab university to pilot lines but now we also want to see mass production mass production in production soon so you have seen here how connected all this labs from university research centers to companies to pilot lines and how this brings very soon in mass production in order to have not only new things products but to have mass production products are necessary in order not only to reduce the cost but to go to the old people or many applications everyday applications from medicine to engineering from automotive to the space whatever they are they change the world with new products and cheaper products and higher of course quality of products
