Press Release Summary: Nanotechnology isn't for wimps. You take your treasured
concept, whether it's creation of a stronger, more cost-effective materials or a
miraculous cure for disease, spend months or years developing its potential. You
spend more time assembling the right team to take it forward. You risk your marriage
working nights and weekends and risk your reputation should the concept fail. You
spend all your hard-earned savings. only to approach the Valley of Death - the land
where ideas whither and die because they couldn't get funding.

But lo, aspiring nanotechnologists! Though ye may wander the Valley of Death, the
Nanomaterials Application Center art with you!


Press Release Body: September 25, 2007 - DALLAS - The Nanomaterials Application
Center at Texas State University-San Marcos today announced that it will present
"NanoBusiness 101" at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas. The seminar
will be a free primer for businesses and individuals interested in learning more
about opportunities, technologies and financial realities affecting nanotech
business success.

The course will be presented on October 2, 2007, at 12:30, by the center's director,
Dr. Walt Trybula and will explore the many business opportunities currently
available in the nanotech industry, what funding is available for small businesses
and start-ups and how to plan for success. The seminar is one of six to be offered
free to the public prior to the nanoTX'07 conference on October 3 and 4.

"Nanotechnology brings many unknowns into the business arena." said Dr. Trybula.
"The successful introduction of a technology business requires significant
interaction with both technology and community leaders. Growing the business and
making it survive, requires an understanding of the business community interactions.
NanoBusiness focuses on providing information on how to develop a successful
business."

In addition to his role as director of the Nanomaterials Application Center, Dr.
Trybula is a director and senior policy fellow of the Trybula Foundation, Inc. and
focuses on evaluating emerging trends and applications in nanotechnology,
mesomaterials, MEMS/NEMS, and semiconductors with an emphasis on feasibility
evaluation and profitable business insertion. A technology futurist with five
patents pending, Dr. Trybula was recently recognized for his work in March 2007,
when the International Society for Optical Engineering named him one of 56 Fellows
of the Society for his achievements in emerging optical lithography techniques used
in nanotechnology.

The seminars will begin at 12:30 pm and run until 5:00 pm. Other free classes
presented October 2 will include NanoTech 101 and102, NanoEnergy 101, BioNano 101
and Nano International Business 101. To sign up for the course visit

About the Nanomaterials Application Center at Texas State University-San Marcos
The Nanomaterials Application Center [NAC] at Texas State University - San Marcos is
a collaborative effort between industry and university. Its efforts are directed at
fundamental understanding of nano material properties (mesomaterials) and their
incorporation into products that address specific needs. From the industry
standpoint, a by-product of this effort is the training of scientists and engineers
that can work in the nano realm. This training of people to think, develop new
concepts, and create novel products is key to the university mission. NAC addresses
the needs of both industry and academia as technology moves further into the nano
realm and novel new material properties are discovered.

About nanoTX
nanoTX, presented this year by SIA, is the world's most comprehensive nanotechnology
conference and exposition. The event highlights advances in nanoscience, explains
how nanotechnology is being used today and how it will impact a broad range of
industries tomorrow, including: electronics, energy, aerospace, defense,
biomedicine, robotics, chemicals and more.

nanoTX has established a reputation for delivering solid content, compelling panel
discussions, early-stage investment opportunities and a world-class roster of
presenters. This year's signature Nobel Laureates Legends program sponsored by IEEE
features a reunion of the original Nobel Prize-winning Buckyball discovery team -
the breakthrough advancement that started the whole carbon nanotechnology and
nanotube revolution we're seeing today, and into tomorrow. For more information and
