Spring 2004 ACS Inauguration Symposium for the Nanoscience Subdivision of American Chemical Society; Anaheim. CA; March 29, 2004

2004年春季美国化学学会纳米科学分会的美国化学学会首届研讨会将强调人们对基础化学问题的兴趣，这些问题是推进纳米科学和工程的核心。近年来，这些与化学有关的纳米科学和工程领域经历了爆炸性的增长，这是因为人们广泛认识到新材料的发现和研究所涉及的技术重要性和科学挑战，以及来自其他学科的科学家的涌入，他们看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会。这是美国化学学会纳米科学分会的首届研讨会，主题包括无机纳米晶和无机-有机杂化材料的合成、表征、物理和化学性质。本次会议的目的是促进广大研究人员之间的合作和信息交流，这些研究人员对推进与纳米科学和工程相关的化学领域感兴趣。NSF的资金将用于支付参加研讨会的学生、博士后和初级教师的费用。固态和材料化学社区通过培训学生设计、合成、表征和制造纳米材料，作为与先进的热电、磁性和电子技术相关的新型器件材料，继续对社会具有重要意义的技术进步产生直接影响。

The spring 2004 ACS Inaugural Symposium for the Nanoscience Subdivision of the American Chemical Society will emphasize interest in fundamental chemistry issues that are central to advancing nanoscience and engineering. These chemistry related areas of nanoscience and engineering have undergone explosive growth in recent years due to the broadly based recognition of the technological importance and scientific challenges involved in the discovery and study of new materials, and due to the influx of scientists from other disciplines who see the opportunities for performing exciting research in this area. This inaugural symposium for the Nanoscience Subdivision of the American Chemical Society will address topics that include the synthesis, characterization, physical and chemical properties of inorganic nanocrystals and inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The goal of this ACS meeting is to facilitate collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in advancing chemistry areas related to nanoscience and engineering. The NSF funds will be used to defray the expenses of students, post-docs, and junior faculty attending the symposium.The Solid State and Materials Chemistry community continues to have a direct impact on technological advances of high significance to society by training students to design, synthesize, characterize, and fabricate nanoscale materials as novel device materials relevant to advancing thermoelectric, magnetic, and electronic technologies.
