Necessity
? The recent and rapid advancement experienced during the past two decades in organic nanotechnology, biotechnology, electronics and computer systems provide new opportunities for convergent technology development utilizing all these sectors. For example, one of the major developments in biomolecular electronics has been not only the structural characterization of biopolymers but also their functional correlation as well as fusion with modern electronics. Economic security of nations is closely linked with the growing need for energy and its smart utilization. Recent progress in this field is very rapid, and studies of organic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes, organic field-effect transistors, organic photovoltaic cells, etc. have attracted world-wide attention. We are actually expecting the world of organic molecular electronics is coming together with a very huge production market. However, the performance of organic devices is still not sufficient. We hope we could exchange our recent latest achievements through the presentation and discussion in the Society of NICE.
Aims and Scope
The Society of NICE is aimed at deliberating both of the scientific as well as cultural knowledge between the Japanese and Korean researchers. Attempts will be made to associate experts and students from India, Japan and other Asian nations actively engaged in recent developments in the field of applications of bio and soft electronics for "Organic Molecular Device Engineering". Besides this, efforts will be made to invite both senior scientists and students for presentation of results of their investigations in the field of soft and bio electronics aiming towards "Organic Molecular Device Engineering". Discussion sessions will be organized to exchange the valuable research experiences. Especially, the feature of this conference specializes in organic nano-interfacial phenomena and search for the amicable solutions of existing problems in "Organic Molecular Device Engineering". Recent past have witnessed the numerous reports on the potential applications of modern molecular electronics technology. There are many opportunities to make better and faster electronic devices for use in our day to day life. In this context, nanomaterials, ordered molecular assemblies, conjugated polymers and biomolecules such as proteins can be used for the technical development of soft and bioelectronic devices that can be used for "Organic Molecular Device Engineering".
