The Divisions of Chemistry (CHE), Materials Research (DMR), and Computing & Communication Foundations (CCF) are supporting Hector Abruna, Geoffrey Coates, Paul McEuen, Daniel Ralph, and James Sethna of Cornell University and Mark Ratner of Northwestern University in a research effort as a Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team (NIRT). Their work will focus on creating and characterizing electronic devices based on single molecules and conducting polymers. The NIRT brings together a multidisciplinary team that can address all aspects of the project from chemical synthesis to physical characterization and modeling. The results of these systematic experiments will provide a fundamental understanding of electronics at the nanoscale. The results from this project could also directly impact technologically important devices such as single-molecule transistors and ultra-small sensors. This work will impact undergraduate and graduate students, including recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities, and provide excellent training and research experiences in a forefront area of nanoscience. This NIRT will serve as a center of outreach for New York State K-12 teachers by developing and disseminating hands-on laboratory exercises based on New York Math, Science, and Technology Standards. The NIRT participants will also prepare and present a colloquium-style presentation on scientific ethics, which will include a recent case in molecular electronics.

化学系（CHE）、材料研究系（DMR）和计算与通信基金会（CCF）正在支持康奈尔大学的Hector Abruna、Geoffrey Coates、Paul McEuen、Daniel Ralph、James Sethna和西北大学的Mark Ratner组成纳米级跨学科研究小组（NIRT）进行研究。他们的工作将集中在创造和表征基于单分子和导电聚合物的电子设备。NIRT汇集了一个多学科团队，可以处理项目的各个方面，从化学合成到物理表征和建模。这些系统实验的结果将提供对纳米尺度电子学的基本理解。这个项目的结果也可以直接影响技术上重要的设备，如单分子晶体管和超小型传感器。这项工作将影响本科生和研究生，包括招募和保留代表性不足的少数民族，并在纳米科学的前沿领域提供优秀的培训和研究经验。这个NIRT将作为纽约州K-12教师的外展中心，通过开发和传播基于纽约数学、科学和技术标准的动手实验练习。NIRT的参与者还将准备并提出一个关于科学伦理的学术讨论会式的报告，其中将包括最近在分子电子学中的一个案例。
