In addition, there will be new materials for optical, electronic and energy storage applications and products. The BIOAND project will provide better understanding of the technology involved, and will develop the tools required for making molecular electronic components by selfassembly concept that is commonly employed in nature but which is very rarely used in engineering procedures. Nanoelectronics will create computers and transistors with much greater power for use in solar panels, anticorrosion coatings, tougher and harder cutting tools, photocatalytic air purifiers, longerlasting medical devices, chemical catalysts, and for the transport industry.

Improving public health These combinations will provide biosensors, biomaterials and new breeds of biochips for treating lifethreatening conditions, including cancer and heart disease. Developing intelligent materials The fabrication of nanostructures will yield materials with new and improved properties for use in solar panels, anticorrosion coatings, tougher and harder cutting tools, photocatalytic air purifiers, longerlasting medical devices, chemical catalysts, and for the transport industry. Sustaining the information society The world market for nanoelectronics is worth hundreds of billions of euro and this industry is the driving force behind the current development of nanotechnology.

Developing intelligent materials The fabrication of nanostructures will yield materials with new and improved properties for use in telephones, cars, domestic appliances and the multitude of other consumer and industrial applications currently microprocessorcontrolled. Such bioengineered devices, in the form of body implants, will deliver smart drugs or carry new cells to repair damaged tissue. Learning from nature Nanoelectronic devices for computer chips need to be fabricated in reliable and costeffective way.
