2006 Solid State Chemistry I Gordon Research Conference, New London, NH, July 23-28, 2006

非技术性：近年来，人们对固态化学作为一门学科的兴趣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。2006年固体化学戈登研究会议是一次重要的国际会议，于2006年7月23-28日在新伦敦市科尔比-索耶学院举行。会议的目标是促进对固态化学领域感兴趣的广泛研究人员之间的合作和信息交流，这些领域包括新型功能材料的设计和合成的新概念，结构、理论和建模方面的基础研究，以及材料纳米科学和工程研究和教育的相关领域。NSF的资金将主要用于支持学生、博士后学者和早期职业教师以及美国高级会议主席和特邀演讲者的参与。技术：这次会议的目的是将来自不同背景的研究人员聚集在一起，讨论固体化学领域的最新进展和挑战，目的是促进思想交流，并在学术、工业和政府研究人员之间建立牢固的关系。来自学生、博士后学者和早期职业教师的国际知名演讲者和海报演示将强调技术进步、未发表的工作的展示，以及对固态化学界出现的新想法和未来方向的讨论。演讲者代表学术、工业和政府实验室，国际上将有很强的参与。在固态化学的各个领域工作的领先科学家预计将引起该领域许多研究人员的兴趣。当前要强调的前沿领域包括在地方一级合成、表征和研究固体结构的基础科学。这个问题影响到固态化学研究的整个领域，涉及所有材料类型和各种可开发的性质。因此，一些会议的内容涉及不同的材料类型和用途，因此应该引起从事不同类别化合物和相关技术工作的人的兴趣。

Non-Technical: Interest in solid-state chemistry as a discipline has 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. The 2006 Solid State Chemistry Gordon Research Conference is a major international meeting held July 23-28, 2006 at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH. The goal of the conference is to facilitate collaborations and information exchange across a broad spectrum of researchers with interests in solid-state chemistry areas that include new concepts for design and synthesis of novel functional materials, fundamental studies in structure, theory and modeling, and related areas of materials nanoscience and engineering research and education. The NSF funds will be used primarily to support the participation of students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career faculty, as well as senior U.S. session chairs and invited speakers.Technical: The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds to discuss the latest advances and challenges in the area of solid-state chemistry with the intent to promote an exchange of ideas and to build strong relationships among academic, industrial, and government researchers. Internationally known speakers and poster presentations from students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career faculty will emphasize technical advances, the presentation of unpublished work, and the discussion of new ideas and future directions emerging within the solid-state chemistry community. The speakers represent academic, industrial, and government laboratories, and there will be strong international participation. Leading scientists working in various areas of solid-state chemistry are expected to draw the interest of many researchers in the field. Current frontiers to be highlighted include synthesizing, characterizing, and investigating the fundamental science of structures of solids at the local level. This problem impacts the entire field of solid-state chemistry research, spanning all materials types and a wide variety of exploitable properties. As a result, the content of some sessions cuts across different materials types and uses, and should therefore draw the interest of those working on diverse classes of compounds and related technologies.
