NanoEHS: A Workshop Focused on Fundamental Science Needs, November 1, 2014, Boston, MA

CBET-1441457这项建议是为了举办一次研讨会，以审查纳米EHS的基础科学需求。这一课题的研究已经达到了使用基本测试方法的认识的平台期。需要新的方法来解决更深层次的科学问题。研讨会将确定新的问题，以便更好地了解纳米材料与生命系统的相互作用。研讨会的目标如下：1.让广泛的参与者集中讨论研讨会主题纳米环境卫生体系：基础科学需要2。确定需要进行基础研究以更好地理解纳米EHS的领域。确定在理解NanoEHS：基础科学需求方面的挑战和机会，即确定问题、技术和方法，包括但不限于计算和理论的作用、非常小粒子的尺寸依赖行为，如量子尺寸效应，以及表面结构。阐明基础物理和化学在纳米EHS：基础科学需求的跨学科方法中的重要性，并确定合作机会。准备一份期刊手稿，总结并突出研讨会的讨论和发现。在即将召开的可持续纳米技术组织(SNO)会议或其他适当会议地点的研讨会上进一步传播研讨会成果。

CBET - 1441457This proposal is to conduct a workshop to examine fundamental science needs in NanoEHS. Research in this topic has reached a plateau of understanding by using fundamental testing methods. New approaches to deeper scientific questions are needed. The workshop will identify new questions in order to bring a better understanding of the interactions of nanomaterials with living systems.The goals of the workshop are as follows:1. Engage a broad range of participants to focus on the theme of the workshop topic NanoEHS: Fundamental Science Needs2. Identify areas where fundamental studies are needed to better understand NanoEHS.3. Identify challenges and opportunities in understanding NanoEHS: Fundamental Science Needs, i.e. identify problems, techniques and methods including, but not limited to, the role of computation and theory, size-dependent behavior for very small particles such as quantum size effects, and surface structure.4. Articulate the importance of fundamental physics and chemistry within interdisciplinary approaches to NanoEHS: Fundamental Science Needs and identify opportunities for collaboration.5. Prepare a manuscript to a journal that summarizes and highlights the workshop discussion and findings.6. Disseminate workshop findings further in a symposium at an upcoming Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization (SNO) Meeting or some other appropriate meeting venue.
