2004 Solid State Chemistry II Gordon Research Conference; Colby-Sawyer State College, New London, NH; July 25-30, 2004

近年来，由于对新材料的发现和研究所面临的科学挑战和技术重要性的广泛认识，对固态化学的兴趣经历了爆炸性增长。 来自其他学科的许多科学家看到了在这一领域进行令人兴奋的研究的机会。 2004年固态化学戈登研究会议将于2004年7月25日至30日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶州立学院举行。 会议的目标是促进对固态化学感兴趣的广泛研究人员的国际合作和信息交流。 美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于帮助支持年轻的美国科学家以及几位美国高级会议主席和特邀演讲者的出席。 NSF的部分支持也将使大约20名研究生、博士后研究员和来自本科院校的教师参与成为可能。固态化学社区继续通过设计新材料，如新的超导体，催化剂，磁性和电子材料，对社会具有重要意义的技术进步产生直接影响。

Interest in solid state chemistry has undergone explosive growth in recent years due to the broadly based recognition of the scientific challenges and technological importance attached to the discovery and study of new materials. Many scientists from other disciplines see opportunities for performing exciting research in this area. The 2004 Solid State Chemistry Gordon Research Conference will be held at Colby-Sawyer State College, New London, NH from July 25-30, 2004. The goal of the conference is to facilitate international collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in solid-state chemistry. The NSF funds will be used to help support the attendance of young American Scientists as well as several senior U.S. session chairs and invited speakers. Partial NSF support will also make possible the participation of approximately 20 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty from undergraduate institutions.%%%The Solid State Chemistry community continues to have direct impact on technological advances of high significance to society by designing new materials such as new superconductors, catalysts, and magnetic and electronic materials.
