U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)- Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO)

On Oct. 8, AMO featured a webpage dedicated to National Nanotechnology Day that celebrates AMO’s nano portfolio and CABLE Conductor Manufacturing Prize—a competition that challenges innovators to use nanotechnology to develop and manufacture new, affordable conductivity-enhanced materials. The webpage also showcased a short video: Nanotechnology for Energy Efficiency 101.

Also, in celebration of National Nanotechnology Day, the CABLE Prize Stage 1 winners were announced on Oct. 8. Many competitors use nanotechnology to develop and manufacture new, affordable conductivity-enhanced materials.
