国家科学基金项目编号：CTS-0642696主要研究者： 徐，仙凡所属： 普渡大学提案标题：微纳系统集成与商业化国际会议这笔赠款将提供部分资金，以支持将于2007年1月9日至12日在中国海南省三亚市举行的微纳系统集成与商业化国际会议。 这次会议是由美国机械工程师协会和中国机械工程学会主办的。 纳米科学和工程的重要性已得到全世界研究界和政府组织的充分认识。 人们相信，纳米科学技术的突破将改变社会的各个方面，从能源利用到国土安全。这次会议的独特之处在于它强调了纳米技术的系统级设计，集成，制造和商业化。它将处理整个空间尺度的问题，从原子和分子水平的基本现象到系统集成的关键问题。它将把非常不同的技术和专业知识结合在一起，建立跨学科的沟通。会议的更广泛的影响是，它将汇集来自材料，能源，交通，环境和医疗保健不同领域的纳米科学和工程研究人员。会议将促进学术界与产业界的合作和国际合作，促进技术转让和商业化。国家科学基金会的资金将特别有助于抵消年轻研究人员的费用，包括初级教师和研究生，特别鼓励他们参加会议，以便为他们提供与美国国内外同行互动和合作的机会。

ABSTRACTNational Science FoundationProposal Number: CTS-0642696Principal Investigator: Xu, XianfanAffiliation: Purdue UniversityProposal Title: International Conference on Integration and Commercialization of Micro- and Nano-systemsThis grant will provide partial funding to support the International Conference on Integration and Commercialization of Micro- and Nano-systems, to be held in Sanya, Hanan Province, China, January 9-12, 2007. The conference is sponsored by the U.S. ASME and the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society. The importance of nano-science and engineering has been well recognized by research communities and governmental organizations worldwide. It is believed that breakthroughs in nano-science and technology will change all aspects of society, from energy utilization to homeland security. The uniqueness of this conference is that it places emphasis on the system level design, integration, and manufacturing, and commercialization of nano-technologies. It will deal with issues across the spatial scale, from fundamental phenomena at the atomic and molecular level to issues vital for system integration. It will bring very different technologies and expertise together to establish communication across disciplines. The broader impact of the conference is that it will bring together researchers in nano-science and engineering from diverse areas in materials, energy, transportation, environment, and health care. The conference will promote academic-industry collaboration and international collaboration, and promote technology transfer and commercialization. The NSF funding will in particular help to offset the expenses of young researchers, including junior faculty and graduate students, who are especially encouraged to attend the conference so as to provide them with opportunities of interaction and collaboration with their peers within and outside of the United States.
