Interview with Javier Tejada, Professor at the Universidad de Barcelona and nanoscientist

“For the first time in the history of Mankind we can collect atoms or molecules "as if with tweezers" and relocate them to create configurations of atoms that were unthinkable before. This is how properties that are not known in Nature can appear. "The great hope of nanotechnologists is to be able to control the process of atomic positioning", says Javier Tejada, with a dreamlike gesture. "Clusters of 70 or 80 atoms with new properties on an optical or magnetic level" and the possibilities, adds the Professor of Fundamental Physics of the Universidad de Barcelona and Doctor Honoris Causa of City University of New York and Director of the "are almost infinite". The objective would be to create materials that do not exist in Nature, with totally new properties.

Interview with José Javier Armendáriz (President of SODENA and Regional Minister of Industry and Technologies, Commerce and Employment)

We should accept and understand both the risk and the possible failure of a business project.
