ABSTRACT:
Led by NSF over the past decade, converging interdisciplinary areas of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology and cognitive science (NBIC) offer the potential of improving human lives as well as society well-being and productivity.Nanotechnology is a very efficient way in the creation of new materials, devices and systems at the molecular level. It requires simulation in the multi-scale mechanics to bridge the molecular level to the systems level. Research and challenges in NBIC needmulti-scale mechanics, including nano-mechanics/ materials and related areas.
