Partial Support For International Symposium on Cluster and Nanomaterials in Richmond Virginia; October 26-29, 2015

非技术摘要该奖项为 2015 年 10 月 26-29 日在弗吉尼亚州里士满举行的团簇和纳米材料国际研讨会提供部分支持。该研讨会汇集了来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的各种研究人员，他们属于不同的学科：物理、化学、生物学、材料科学、工程和医学。 研讨会的重点是团簇和纳米结构在能源和生命科学中发挥的重要作用。 特别是，要涵盖的中心主题包括太阳能和氢等替代能源的有效储存和转换；生物活性、生物响应和仿生材料；纳米毒性；生物工程和再生医学。 与这两个领域相关的主题，如反应、催化、电子、光学和磁特性也将成为特色。 NSF 的支持将使 30 名贡献者能够参与，否则他们可能无法参加。所申请资金的一半将用于支持年轻研究人员。技术摘要该奖项为 2015 年 10 月 26-29 日在弗吉尼亚州里士满举行的团簇和纳米材料国际研讨会提供部分支持。该研讨会汇集了来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的各种研究人员，属于不同学科：物理、化学、生物学、材料科学、工程和医学。 研讨会的重点是团簇和纳米结构在能源和生命科学中发挥的重要作用。 特别是，要涵盖的中心主题包括太阳能和氢等替代能源的有效储存和转换；生物活性、生物响应和仿生材料；纳米毒性；生物工程和再生医学。 与这两个领域相关的主题，如反应、催化、电子、光学和磁特性也将成为特色。 NSF 的支持将使 30 名贡献者能够参与，否则他们可能无法参加。所申请资金的一半将用于支持年轻研究人员。

NONTECHNICAL SUMMARYThis award provides partial support for the International Symposium on Cluster and Nanomaterials in Richmond Virginia, on October 26-29, 2015. This symposium brings together a variety of researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry, belonging to diverse disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, engineering, and medicine. The focus of the symposium is on the important role that clusters and nanostructures play within the energy and life sciences. In particular, central topics to be covered include the efficient storage and conversion of alternative energy sources such as solar power and hydrogen; bioactive, bioresponsive, and biomimetic materials; nanotoxicity; bioengineering and regenerative medicine. Topics related to both areas such as reactions, catalysis, electronic, optical, and magnetic properties will also be featured. NSF support will enable the participation of 30 contributors, who might not otherwise be able to attend. Half of the requested funds are destined for the support of young researchers.TECHNICAL SUMMARYThis award provides partial support for the International Symposium on Cluster and Nanomaterials in Richmond Virginia, on October 26-29, 2015.
