For Young Architects of the Nanoscale World

摘要

I have now been coming annually to the Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA), NIMS for several years and although, when it started, I was apprehensive about how successful the whole venture was likely to be, my apprehensions have turned out to be unfounded. I should like to summarise here my conclusions with regard to the outstanding educational opportunities that the highly innovative and far-sighted MANA research programme has provided for young scientists. These young people can rightly be described as Architects of the Nanoscale World.
