Chennai , 24th  March 2025 :   The 8th  biennial International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology   (ICONN-2025),   a   premier   global   event   was   organized   and   successfully completed   its   latest   edition,  bringing   together   leading   researchers,   industry   experts,   and academicians   to   discuss   groundbreaking   advancements   in   the   field   of   nanoscience   and nanotechnology by the Department of Physics and Nanotechnology, SRM Institute of Science and   Technology   (SRMIST),   Kattankulathur,   co-sponsored   by Defence   Research   and Development   Organization   (DRDO),   WILEY,   Springer   Nature   USA,   Malvern   Panalytical Spectrics Pvt. Ltd., Netherlands, in association with Shizuoka University, Japan; University of Paris   Cite,   France,   National   Yang   Ming   Chiao   University,   Taiwan   University   of   Malaya, Malaysia   Rigas   Technical   University,   Latvia   Flinders   University,   Australia   University   of Tasmania,   Australia   Mordovia   State   University,   Russia,   Nanotechnology   Research   Center (NRC), SRMIST .

The conference was aimed at a diverse range of keynote addresses, technical sessions, and   panel   discussions   covering   topics   such   as materials   at   reduced   dimensional   scale, nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, energy applications, and emerging nanomedicine technologies. Researchers presented  pioneering  work in energy harvesting,  nanocomposites, catalysts,  two-dimensional materials, and to name a few, pushing the boundaries of fundamental science and technological innovation. The event also provided a platform for young scientists and students to showcase   their   research,   fostering   collaboration   across   disciplines.   With   a   strong   focus on sustainable   nanotechnology   and   real-world   applications,   ICONN   continues   to   drive innovation in the field of physics of materials, nanoscience and nanotechnology. More than 30 scientific sessions were held with eminent speakers from renowned international institutions . Prof. C. Muthamizhchelvan, Vice Chancellor, SRMIST, felicitated the guest of honour and dignitaries on the dais. The inaugural function was concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. J. Archana, Dept. of Physics & Nanotechnology, SRMIST.
