Non-Technical SummaryThe 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Crystal Growth and Assembly: Mechanistic Understanding of the Growth and Assembly of Ordered Materials, and the 2023 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Crystal Growth and Assembly are being held at Southern New Hampshire University on June 18-23 and June 17-18, 2023, respectively. Our society continuously benefits from the development of a wide range of advanced materials to solve technological challenges in applications ranging from solar cells, flexible electronics and catalysts to new therapeutics for human diseases such as malaria. Such materials are developed by scientists with diverse backgrounds including chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Novel materials are often developed at the boundaries of these disciplines and the aim of the Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Growth & Assembly is to bring together leading scientists from these different backgrounds to stimulate cross-fertilization. To promote broader impact, the format of the meeting emphasizes interaction with and active participation of young scientists, i.e., students and post-docs, to educate a new generation of researchers that will have to meet future materials challenges in a changing world where (some) resources become increasingly scarce. NSF's Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program and the Condensed Matter and Materials Theory Program, both in the Division of Materials Research, support stipends for registration fee and/or travel support for some early-career participants at this conference because of its relevance to their respective programmatic scope. Technical SummaryThe Crystal Growth and Assembly Gordon Research Conference and Seminar are dedicated to the knowledge and understanding of the fundamental atomic and nanoscale physics and chemistry that are central to the nucleation and growth of crystals, as well as their assembly into ordered materials for a wide array of technologies. Such knowledge is needed to develop advanced materials for a diverse range of applications. The 2023 GRC conference has a particular focus on the integration of theory and experiment to predict and understand crystal growth and assembly. This conference, with support from NSF's Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program and the Condensed Matter and Materials Theory Program, both in the Division of Materials Research, gathers leading scientists representing the major areas in crystallization and assembly, and brings them into contact with each other and, more importantly, with the next generation of researchers to promote broader outreach within the crystal growth community. With respect to this larger goal, the meeting seeks to provide a common language for our diverse student body; to raise the comfort-level of our student/postdoc participants; and, through these efforts, to develop a tightly woven community held together by a common interest in the principles of materials assembly. The accompanying Gordon Research Seminar that is dedicated to and organized by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers aids in the active participation of this new generation of scientists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2023年戈登晶体生长和组装研究会议（GRC）：有序材料生长和组装的机械理解，以及2023年戈登晶体生长和组装研究研讨会（GRS）将分别于2023年6月18日至23日和6月17日至18日在南新罕布什尔大学举行。我们的社会不断受益于各种先进材料的发展，以解决从太阳能电池、柔性电子产品和催化剂到疟疾等人类疾病的新疗法等应用中的技术挑战。这些材料是由化学、物理、材料科学和工程等不同背景的科学家开发的。新材料通常是在这些学科的边界上开发出来的，而戈登晶体生长研究会议的目的是将来自不同背景的顶尖科学家聚集在一起，以促进交叉受精。为了促进更广泛的影响，会议的形式强调与年轻科学家（即学生和博士后）的互动和积极参与，以教育新一代的研究人员，这些研究人员将不得不在不断变化的世界中应对未来材料的挑战，其中（一些）资源变得越来越稀缺。NSF的固态和材料化学项目以及凝聚态和材料理论项目，均属于材料研究部，由于其与各自的项目范围相关，因此为本次会议的一些早期职业参与者提供注册费和/或旅费支持。技术摘要晶体生长和组装戈登研究会议和研讨会致力于对基本原子和纳米级物理和化学的知识和理解，这些物理和化学是晶体成核和生长的核心，以及它们组装成有序材料的各种技术。这些知识是开发用于各种应用的先进材料所需要的。2023年GRC会议特别关注理论和实验的结合，以预测和理解晶体的生长和组装。本次会议，在NSF固态和材料化学计划和凝聚态和材料理论计划的支持下，聚集了代表结晶和组装主要领域的领先科学家，并使他们彼此接触，更重要的是，与下一代研究人员接触，以促进晶体生长社区内更广泛的推广。为了实现这一更大的目标，会议力求为我们多样化的学生群体提供一种共同的语言；提高我们的学生/博士后参与者的舒适度；并且，通过这些努力，通过对材料组装原则的共同兴趣来发展一个紧密编织的社区。与此同时，由研究生和博士后研究人员组织的戈登研究研讨会有助于新一代科学家的积极参与。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
