Abstract

A report on the gold highlights on the 11th "Trends in Nanotechnology" International Conference (TNT 2010) held in Braga, Portugal, on September 6-10, 2010 is presented. There were around 300 participants attending this meeting. Gold-related subjects had a strong presence by 2 invited lectures, 13 keynote lectures, 13 oral presentations, and 35 posters. Moreover, seven posters dealing with gold were awarded for poster prizes. Subjects covering a wide range, like self-assembly, colloids, nanobiotechnology, scanning probe methods, carbon nanotubebased materials, nanochemistry, low-dimension materials, nanostructured and nanoparticles-based materials, nanooptics and nano-photonics, were presented. © The Author(s) 2011.
