ICONN is Australia’s largest biennial conference in nanoscience, connecting world-leading scientists, engineers, industry participants, and entrepreneurs. Since its inception in 2006, ICONN has been hosted in cities across the nation, fostering collaboration and innovation in nanoscale science and technology.

Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation

In this WE-Heraeus seminar, we will explore the opportunities and challenges related to the integration of color centers into photonic and electronic nanofabricated devices, a key topic in scaling this platform. The program spans materials science, nanofabrication, photonics, electronics, and quantum sensing, combining perspectives from leading figures in academia, industry, and policy.

The 2nd International Conference and Exhibition on Nanotechnology and NanoScience (ICENN2026) will be held on August 24–26, 2026, in Toronto, Canada. The conference brings together researchers, industry experts, and innovators to share cutting-edge research, emerging trends, and practical applications in nanotechnology and nanoscience. ICENN2026 features keynote sessions, technical presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions, offering excellent opportunities for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and professional networking.

Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation

Self-driven or active polymers and filaments are ubiquitous in biology across length scales, from chromatin in the nucleus to cytoskeletal filaments such as actin and microtubules, and from motile filamentous cyanobacteria to macroscopic worms. Inspired by these systems, synthetic analogs such as biomimetic robotic worms and robotic grippers or active materials based on cytoskeletal filaments have been developed. These systems display diverse structural and dynamic behaviors, both individually and collectively: examples include spiral and helical conformations, vortex formation in motor-driven microtubules, coexisting ordered states in actin-myosin networks, morphogenesis of cyanobacterial colonies during blooms, dynamical neural-motor loops in C. elegans, and emergent collective locomotion in worm blobs.

This workshop will bring together leading scientists from multiple fields to identify common features of active filament systems, clarify the mechanisms driving their self-organization, and define overarching open questions.
