NONTECHNICAL SUMMARYThe Division of Materials Research, the Division of Physics, and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems contribute funds to this award that provides support for an Institute of Complex and Adaptive Matter conference on active and smart matter to be held at Syracuse University in June of 2016. This conference brings together a diverse group of scientists from a wide variety of disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine. The focus of the conference is on the merging of science and engineering using active and smart matter platforms. Examples of issues that will be addressed include how active and smart matter can help drive self-assembly to build self-replicating objects, and what physical interactions lead to observed patterns in systems whose constituents can communicate with each other. NSF support will enable the participation of 100 contributors, who might not otherwise be able to attend. Approximately one-third of the participants will be young researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, who will also benefit from mentorship activities during the conference.TECHNICAL SUMMARYhe Division of Materials Research, the Division of Physics, and the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems contribute funds to this award that provides support for an Institute of Complex and Adaptive Matter conference on active and smart matter to be held at Syracuse University in June of 2016.

非技术性总结材料研究部，物理部，化学，生物工程，环境和运输系统部为该奖项提供资金，该奖项为2016年6月在锡拉丘兹大学举行的复杂和适应性物质会议提供支持。这次会议汇集了来自各种学科的科学家：物理学，化学，生物学，工程学和医学。会议的重点是使用主动和智能物质平台融合科学和工程。将解决的问题的例子包括如何主动和智能物质可以帮助驱动自我组装，以建立自我复制的对象，以及什么物理相互作用导致观察到的模式，在系统的组成部分可以相互通信。NSF的支持将使100名贡献者能够参与，否则他们可能无法参加。大约三分之一的与会者将是年轻的研究人员、研究生和博士后研究人员，他们也将在会议期间受益于导师活动。技术概述材料研究部、物理学部和化学、生物工程、环境、生物技术和生物技术部。和运输系统为该奖项提供资金，为复杂和适应性物质研究所关于主动和智能物质的会议提供支持将于2016年6月在锡拉丘兹大学举行。这次会议汇集了来自各种学科的科学家：物理学，化学，生物学，工程学和医学。会议的重点是使用主动和智能物质平台融合科学和工程。将解决的问题的例子包括如何主动和智能物质可以帮助驱动自我组装，以建立自我复制的对象，以及什么物理相互作用导致观察到的模式，在系统的组成部分可以相互通信。NSF的支持将使100名贡献者能够参与，否则他们可能无法参加。大约三分之一的与会者将是年轻的研究人员，研究生和博士后研究人员，他们也将受益于会议期间的导师活动。
