24th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics (LT24); August 10 - 17, 2005; Orlando, FL

国际科学会议将研究人员联合起来，在各自的领域发现新知识，培训新工作者。国际低温物理学家每三年举行一次会议，协调他们的工作，讨论有争议的发现，从而规划未来的研究方向。2005年8月10日至17日，由美国佛罗里达大学主办、国际纯粹与应用物理联合会主办的第24届国际低温物理会议（LT24）将在美国佛罗里达州奥兰多市召开。之前的会议是在日本广岛举行的LT23（来自34个国家的1466名与会者），最后一次在西半球举行的会议是LT20（1993-俄勒冈）。这是该领域最重要的会议系列，由于超导磁体在包括医学在内的各个领域的发展，该领域是我们许多技术经济的孕育地。即将到来的会议可能是有史以来最大的低温会议，因为它的地点和时间（距离上一届美国会议已有12年，并且随着低温研究的快速发展）。这次会议的主要目标是，在这笔资金的推动下，让尽可能多的国家和处于科学发展各个阶段的科学家参加会议，并鼓励美国的年轻科学家。

International scientific conferences unite researchers to discover new knowledge and train new workers in their fields. Every three years the international community of low temperature physicists meets to coordinate their efforts, discuss controversial findings, and hence plan future directions in research. From August 10 to 17, 2005, the 24th International Conference on Low Temperature Physics (LT24) will be held in Orlando, Florida, hosted by the University of Florida under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics. The previous conference was LT23 in Hiroshima, Japan (1466 participants from 34 countries), and the last one in the Western Hemisphere was LT20 (1993-Oregon). This is the most important conference series in an area that is the spawning ground for much of our technological economy due to the development of superconducting magnets for use in various fields including medicine. The upcoming conference will probably be the largest LT conference ever because of its venue and timing (12 years after the last US conference and following rapid growth in low temperature research). Major goals of this conference, advanced by this funding, are to include scientists from as many countries as possible and at all stages of scientific development, and to encourage young scientists in the United States.
