The young scientists and academicians from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam as well as from Malaysia were in the country for the second leg of their \u201cAsia Nanotech Camp 2010\u201d, which was set up under the ASEAN Nano Forum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThey had before this, spent a week in Singapore under the programme that is jointly hosted by Singapore and Malaysia this year.\u00a0 South Korea will host the camp next year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nThey visited MIMOS Bhd yesterday morning and the Malaysia Genome Institute, Stroma and Xynergen Research, Heliks Emas and Granar Research in the afternoon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nProf Dr Burhanuddin said IMEN also has industrial collaboration work with MEMS Technology Shd Bhd, MIMOS Bhd, Telekom Malaysia Research and Development and the Malaysian Agriculture Research and Development Institute (MARDI).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nHe also briefed the participants on the history and development of UKM as well as all the research areas of IMEN.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nLater, Prof Dr Weon Bae Ko of Sahmyook University, who is the leader of the camp, said research work in these areas would be enhanced with strong foreign collaboration. In the case of South Korea, the Government was also very supportive of such research.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nHe found the UKM campus to be huge and green, and the facilities for microengineering and nanoelectronics to be \u201cquite good\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus_News_Picture\/lwtn%20nano%201.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus_News_Picture\/lwtn%20nano%202.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mr Ojas Mahapatra of the University of Canterbury of New Zealand said he found the camp to be a \u201cvast learning experience\u201d as he came across so many different people working in their laboratories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nHe found the location of the UKM campus to be \u201creally nice\u201d\u00a0and the laboratories to be \u201creally good\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nOn the of study of nanotechnology, he said whether it would turn out to be good or harmful to mankind would depend very much on the intention of the scientists. \u201cIt is an age-old question really\u2026science depends on what man is using it for,\u201d\u00a0 he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nMr Yi Du, a PhD candidate from University of Wollongong of Australia, found the buildings nestling in the forests of the UKM campus and research facilities to be \u201camazing\u201d.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus_News_Picture\/lwtn%20nano%203.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Campus_News_Picture\/lwtn%20nano%204.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEDNESDAY, 13 OCTOBER 2010 17:54 By Kuah Guan Oo Pix by Saliman Leman BANGI, 13 Oct 2010 \u2013\u00a0The Institute of<a class=\"tukm-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/archive\/year-2010\/october-2010\/ukm-mems-nano-research-has-forged-foreign-links-and-collaboration\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7229,"parent":1410,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7199","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7199","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7199"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7199\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7238,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7199\/revisions\/7238"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7199"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
