US-China Winter School on SuperconductivityHong Kong; January 21 - 23, 2013

寻找高温最佳超导体的动机是这些发现将对电力传输和存储，运输，通信系统等产生巨大影响。这种精心设计的努力依赖于专家科学家的可用性，结合从材料合成到复杂电子的技能，磁性和结构表征。该奖项为初级研究人员提供支持，以参加1月21日至23日在香港举行的中美超导冬季联合学校，2013.研讨会将邀请来自美国和中国的许多杰出科学家出席并发表演讲。通过将年轻科学家聚集在一起参加冬季学校，他们将有一个独特的机会了解超导的百年历史，以及传统和非传统超导体背景下的实验和理论发展。这些互动可能会促进来自美国和中国的研究生和博士后学生之间的未来合作，这两个社区是目前参与寻找最佳超导体的最活跃和最成功的社区。

The search for high temperature optimal superconductors is motivated by the immense impact such discoveries would have on the electrical power transmission and storage, transportation, communication systems etc. This elaborate effort thrives on the availability of experts scientists, combining skills from materials synthesis to complex electronic, magnetic and structural characterization.This award provides support for junior researchers to attend a joint US-China Winter School on Superconductivity held in Hong Kong January 21-23, 2013. The workshop will feature attendance and invited talks by many prominent scientists from both United States and China. By bringing young scientists together for the winter school, they will have a unique opportunity to learn about the century-long history of superconductivity, as well as experimental and theoretical developments both in the context of conventional and unconventional superconductors. The interactions are likely to catalyze future collaborations between graduate and postdoctoral students from US and China, two of the most active and successful communities currently involved in the search for optimal superconductors.
