Symposium: Hierarchical Self Assembly of Functional Materials from Nanoscopic-to-Mesoscopic-Length Scales; 2010 MRS Spring Meeting; San Francisco, California; April 5-9, 2010

该补助金提供资金，以支持从纳米到介观长度尺度的功能材料的分层自组装研讨会;在2010年MRS春季会议;旧金山弗朗西斯科，加州; 2010年4月5日至9日。 本次研讨会的主题是与分级自组装，这是至关重要的功能纳米结构的纳米制造。 将有会议集中在DNA自组装，使2D和3D的子50纳米结构的建设。另一个重点是集成自组装纳米结构在众多的长度尺度，使它们可以在真实的世界中使用，以及理解的因素，控制的可靠性和缺陷容限的自组装纳米结构。 将邀请世界领先的研究人员发言。 这不仅是一个很好的机会，以促进自组装作为一个新兴的纳米制造范例的进展，但也是一个伟大的教育机会，参与学生，即我们的未来一代的劳动力。这次研讨会提供了一个很好的机会，科学家和工程师来自世界各地，以及来自许多不同学科的专家，分享他们在自组装领域的成果和见解，特别强调功能纳米结构和材料的可制造性。与其他自组装研讨会相比，这一研讨会将重点放在关键挑战上，如三维纳米制造，纳米结构和材料在长度尺度上的集成以及良率/缺陷容限。 将努力宣传学生的支持，从而让学生与会者熟悉最先进的自组装方法，并了解他们的要求和需求。研究小组将被鼓励支持本科生参与海报会议，作为让学生在早期接触高水平研究的一种手段。

This grant provides funding to support a symposium on Hierarchical Self Assembly of Functional Materials from Nanoscopic-to-Mesoscopic-Length Scales; at the 2010 MRS Spring Meeting; San Francisco, California; April 5-9, 2010. The main theme of this symposium is related with hierarchical self-assembly which is critical to nanomanufacturing of functional nanostructures. There will be sessions focused on DNA self-assembly which enables the construction of sub-50 nm structures in 2D and 3D. Another focus is on as integrating self-assembling nanostructures at a multitude of length scales so that they can be utilized in the real world as well as understanding factors that control reliability and defect tolerance in self-assembly of nanostructures. The world's leading researchers will be invited to speak. This is not only a good opportunity to boost the progress of self-assembly as an emerging nanomanufacturing paradigm, but also a great educational opportunity to participating students, i.e. our future generation of working force.This symposium provides a great opportunity for scientists and engineers from around the world, and from many different disciplines to share their results and insights in the field of self-assembly with a special emphasis on manufacturability of functional nanostructures and materials. As compared to other symposia on self-assembly, this one will focus on key challenges such as three dimensional nanomanufacturing, integration of nanostructures and materials across length scales and yield / defect tolerance. Efforts will be made to publicize student support and hence allow the student attendees to become familiar with state-of-the-art self-assembly methods and understand their requirements and needs. Research groups will be encouraged to support undergraduate participation in the poster sessions, as a means of exposing students to a high level of research at an early age.
