ABSTRACT TITLEFifteenth International Conference on the Science and Application of NanotubesABSTRACTThis award is a request for funds to subsidize the registration costs of student attendees at the Fifteenth International Conference on the Science and Application of Nanotubes which will be held on June 2-6, 2014, at the University of Southern California. The PI for the award is Prof. Stephen Cronin from the University of Southern California. Nanotube science, in the context of this conference, includes, for example, ways to separate different nanotube materials by their properties (nanotube has at least one dimension typically less than 1/1000th of the diameter of a human hair); examination of the structure and properties of materials made up of these nanotubes; and applications of nanotubes to thermal and solar energy generation. World-renowned invited speakers will discuss the key challenges faced by scientists and engineers who study such tiny, diverse, and unique materials. Student involvement in this conference is an important educational experience because they are expected to present their own research at poster sessions. Student involvement is critical for developing the next generation of innovative scientists and, hence, continues the growth of this field of research.The purpose of this nanotube conference series is ?to promote scientific progress, to stimulate free exchange of idea, and to publicize progress in nanotube sciences.? (http://nt14.org/) This is an established conference series that has been held every year since 1999. It has not been held in the United States for the past 10 years. The topics to be covered at this conference span chemical separation techniques, materials science, thermal and solar energy conversion, and many others. The key challenges faced by the research community (e.g., inhomogeneity of carbon synthesis, toxicity, and utilization of carbon nanotubes in large integrated circuits) will be addressed by invited speakers who are world renowned for their leading-edge research on carbon nanotubes and related materials. Student participation is an important component of this conference series, and all students are expected to present their own research at poster sessions during the conference. This inclusion is important to develop the next generation of innovators and, hence, continue the growth of the field. This conference will draw scientists from many disciplines in academics and industry, including chemistry, materials science, biology, physics, and electrical engineering. This type of interdisciplinary exchange is very important for both the established scientist or engineer and the student attendees.

摘要标题第十五届国际会议上的科学和应用的纳米管摘要这个奖项是一个资金的要求，以补贴注册费用的学生出席第十五届国际会议上的科学和应用的纳米管将于2014年6月2日至6日，在南加州大学。该奖项的PI是来自南加州大学的Stephen Cronin教授。在这次会议的背景下，纳米管科学包括，例如，通过它们的特性分离不同纳米管材料的方法（纳米管至少有一个维度通常小于人类头发直径的千分之一）;由这些纳米管组成的材料的结构和特性的检查;以及纳米管在热能和太阳能发电中的应用。世界知名的特邀演讲者将讨论研究这种微小，多样和独特材料的科学家和工程师所面临的关键挑战。学生参与这次会议是一个重要的教育经验，因为他们预计将在海报会议提出自己的研究。学生的参与对于培养下一代创新科学家至关重要，因此，继续这一研究领域的增长。促进科学进步，鼓励思想的自由交流，宣传纳米管科学的进步。(http：//nt14.org/）这是自1999年以来每年举行的一个既定的会议系列。在过去的10年里，它没有在美国举行。本次会议将涵盖的主题涵盖化学分离技术，材料科学，热能和太阳能转换以及许多其他领域。研究界面临的主要挑战（例如，碳合成的不均匀性、毒性和碳纳米管在大型集成电路中的应用），将由在碳纳米管和相关材料方面的前沿研究享誉世界的特邀讲者主讲。学生参与是本次会议系列的一个重要组成部分，所有学生都应在会议期间的海报会议上展示自己的研究。这种包容性对于培养下一代创新者非常重要，因此，继续该领域的发展。本次会议将吸引来自学术界和工业界多个学科的科学家，包括化学、材料科学、生物学、物理学和电气工程。这种类型的跨学科交流对既有科学家或工程师和学生与会者都非常重要。
