Discussion Thread for Nano-Net 2008 and Nano Self-Organization Workshop

Dear All:

We have created a blog thread soliciting questions that would be useful for discussion at the Nano-Net Conference/ Nanosensors Workshop. We will appreciate if you can post a couple of intriguing questions suitable for discussion. We will post the summaries of discussions on the blog. Here is the link to the blog. You can post questions through the Comment Window at the bottom of the blog post.
