In case you’ve wandered around the Convention Center and wondered what all of the nerds are doing (I’m nerdy enough that I can say that), it’s the mentioned-before nanoTX convention. I checked it out yesterday and saw a whole bunch of machines whose purposes and functions were entirely beyond me (I’m not nerdy enough to decipher). Eric Berger, Houston Chronicles SciGuy, checked it out too. Notably, he got to hear Jim Von Ehr, profile subject in July’s DallasCEO, speak. The gist: Nanotechnology is more than a buzzword.
