2006 Nanostructure Fabrication Gordon Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of Nanostructure. To be Held July 16-21, 2006 at Tilton College in Tilton, NH.

这项提案要求资助年轻学者参加2006年戈登研究会议纳米结构制造的化学和物理学会议，该会议将于2006年7月16日至21日在纳西兰州蒂尔顿的蒂尔顿学院举行。该技术计划由宾夕法尼亚州立大学的Theresa S.Mayer教授(主席)和宾夕法尼亚大学的Dawn Bonnell教授(当选主席)组织，重点是纳米结构合成与使用先进制造技术实现的设备和系统之间的交叉点的开创性研究。智力优势：本次会议将讨论的主题不仅对当今的信息革命至关重要，而且对化学和生物结构的成像和操纵领域也至关重要。戈登研究会议的组织和氛围促进了领先研究人员对最新成果和新技术的公开讨论，这在迅速发展和变化的纳米科学和技术领域尤为重要。此外，本次会议讨论的研究具有高度跨学科的性质，为研究思路和方法的交叉培养提供了极好的机会。这次会议将突出的主题包括纳米结构合成和自组装、纳米图案和印刷、纳米电子学、生物系统、光学、力学和流体。广泛影响：为期一周的会议形式，在非正式的环境中与相关领域的专家持续互动，为包括研究生、博士后研究助理和助理教授在内的年轻学者提供了一个特别有益的机会，与这一领先研究人员的聚会交流思想并向其学习。这种旅行支助的提供也将有助于我们努力保持与会者的高度多样性。

This proposal requests funds to support the attendance of young scholars at the 2006 Gordon ResearchConference on the Chemistry and Physics of Nanostructure Fabrication that will be heldon July 16 - 21, 2006 at the Tilton College in Tilton, NH. The technical program is being organizedby Prof. Theresa S. Mayer, Penn State University (Chair) and Prof. Dawn Bonnell, Universityof Pennsylvania (Chair-Elect) and will emphasize ground breaking research at the intersectionbetween nanostructure synthesis and the devices and systems that are enabled using theseadvanced fabrication techniques.Intellectual Merit: The topics that will be discussed at this meeting are vital not only to today'sinformation revolution but to the fields of imaging and manipulation of chemical and biologicalstructures. The organization and atmosphere of Gordon Research Conferences stimulates opendiscussion among leading researchers of recent results and new techniques, which is particularlyimportant in the rapidly growing and changing field of nanoscience and technology. In addition,the highly interdisciplinary nature of the research discussed at this conference provides and excellentopportunity for cross fertilization of research ideas and methods. The topics that will behighlighted at this conference include nanostructure synthesis and self assembly, nano-patterningand printing, nano-electronics, -biosystems, -optics, -mechanics, and -fluidics.Broader Impact: The conference format a week of continuous interaction with experts in interrelatedfields in a casual setting provides a particularly rewarding opportunity for youngscholars including graduate students, post-doctoral research associates, and assistant professorsto exchange ideas with and to learn from this gathering of leading researchers. The availabilityof this travel support will also assist in our efforts to maintain a high level of diversity amongconference attendees.
