2005 Mid-Atlantic Regional Meeting (MARM) of the ACS: Symposium on Solid State and Materials Chemistry; Piscataway, NJ; 5/22-25/05

对固态化学的兴趣近年来经历了爆炸式增长，这是由于人们广泛认识到新材料的发现和研究所涉及的技术重要性和科学挑战，以及来自其他学科的科学家的涌入，他们看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会。本次会议的目标是促进合作和信息交流在广泛的研究人员与利益在固态化学领域，包括合成，晶体生长，电子和磁性，和纳米材料，以及材料纳米科学和工程研究和教育的相关领域。NSF的资金将主要用于支持学生，博士后学者和早期职业教师以及受邀演讲者的参与。固态化学社区继续通过设计用于能源，电子和光子学的新材料对社会具有重要意义的技术进步产生直接影响，包括设计和构建新型“生物固体”，如溶胶-凝胶中的生物分子作为传感器材料。

Interest in solid-state chemistry has undergone explosive growth in recent years due to the broadly based recognition of the technological importance and scientific challenges involved in the discovery and study of new materials, and due to the influx of scientists from other disciplines who see the opportunities for performing exciting research in this area. The goal of this conference is to facilitate collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in solid-state chemistry areas that include synthesis, crystal growth, electronic and magnetic properties, and nanomaterials, and related areas of materials nanoscience and engineering research and education. The NSF funds will be used primarily to support the participation of students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career faculty, as well as invited speakers. %%% The Solid State Chemistry community continues to have direct impact on technological advances of high significance to society by designing new materials for energy, electronics and photonics, including the design and construction of novel 'biosolids' such as biomolecules in sol-gels as sensor materials.
