Dear Colleagues,
The American Society for Nanomedicine is a registered non-profit organization. We hope to cultivate an open forum of ideas and collaborative efforts, alongside close cooperation and coordination with our American and international colleagues. The membership base of ASNM is drawn from diverse, yet overlapping fields such as nanotechnology, engineering, medicine, law, policy, ethics, toxicology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and biomedical sciences. As a member, you will have the opportunity to participate (including being a candidate) in the open elections for the society officers, board members and operating committees, and receive reduced rates to attend ASNM conferences.
Please note that membership is not limited to US citizens. For colleagues in the industry, you are invited to join our innovative, dynamic society by signing up your company as a corporate member. We look forward to seeing you at the conference and benefiting from your active participation in the American Society for Nanomedicine.
Below are the ASNM Conference Programs from 2009, 2010, and 2011.

In Nullkommanichts durch den Quantentunnel Wenn Elektronen die Energie zum ueberwinden einer Energiebarriere nicht haben, "tunneln" sie einfach durch diese Barriere hindurch. Forscher koennen den Zeitpunkt des Austritts aus der Barriere zum ersten Mal exakt bestimmen und schlussfolgern daraus: Die Zeit, die das Elektron fuer das Tunneln braucht, ist gleich Null.
