2002 Gordon Research Conference: Research at High Pressure; Meriden, NH; June 23-28, 2002

该奖项为2002年戈登研究会议提供了部分支持：高压研究，6月23日至28日，金博尔联合学院，梅里登，新罕布什尔州。这个跨学科的会议讨论了物理学、化学、地球和行星科学、材料科学和生物学等领域的新发展。高压方法的最新进展导致了新材料的创造，并为研究高压条件下的物理、化学和生物过程提供了机会。会议将在令人兴奋的新领域，如冲击波技术、材料合成、高压液体、纳米材料、高压生物化学、地球深部采样、新的同步加速器和中子实验、高压超导性和高压下的新金属行为等方面进行特邀演讲。开幕式和闭幕式将以富有煽动性的演讲为特色，为高压研究的理论和实验提供挑战和机遇。美国国家科学基金会的资助将促进学生和初级科学家以及高压领域的“新人”的参与。会议由凝聚态物理计划、固体化学计划和岩石学与地球化学计划支持。

This award provides partial support for the 2002 Gordon Research Conference: Research at High Pressure, June 23-28, Kimball Union Academy, Meriden, NH. This interdisciplinary Conference addresses new developments in fields such as physics, chemistry, earth and planetary science, materials science, and biology. Recent advances in high-pressure methods have led to the creation of new materials, and to opportunities to study physical, chemical and biological processes under high-pressure conditions. The Conference will feature invited talks in exciting new areas such as shock wave techniques, materials syntheses, high pressure liquids, nanomaterials, high pressure biochemistry, sampling the deep Earth, new synchrotron and neutron experiments, high-pressure superconductivity, and new metallic behavior at high pressure. Opening and closing sessions will feature provocative talks to provide challenges and opportunities for theory and experiment in high pressure research. The NSF funding will facilitate participation by students and junior scientists, as well as "newcomers" to the high-pressure field. The Conference is supported by the Condensed Matter Physics Program, the Solid State Chemistry Program, and the Petrology and Geochemistry Program.
