2006 Nanostructure Fabrication Gordon Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of Nanostructure. To be Held July 16-21, 2006 at Tilton College in Tilton, NH.

该提案要求提供资金，以支持年轻学者参加将于2006年7月16日至21日在新罕布什尔州蒂尔顿的蒂尔顿学院举行的2006年戈登纳米结构制造化学和物理研究会议。该技术方案正在组织由教授特里萨S。Mayer，宾夕法尼亚州立大学（主席）和Dawn Bonnell教授，宾夕法尼亚大学（当选主席），并将强调在纳米结构合成与使用这些先进制造技术的设备和系统之间的交叉点进行突破性研究。这次会议将讨论的主题不仅对今天的信息革命至关重要，而且对化学成像和操纵领域也至关重要。and biologicalstructures生物结构.戈登研究会议的组织和气氛刺激了领先的研究人员对最近的成果和新技术的公开讨论，这在迅速发展和变化的纳米科学和技术领域尤为重要。此外，本次会议讨论的研究的高度跨学科性质为研究思想和方法的交叉施肥提供了极好的机会。本次会议将重点讨论的主题包括纳米结构合成和自组装、纳米图案化和印刷、纳米电子学、纳米生物系统、纳米光学、纳米力学和纳米流体学。会议形式一周的持续互动与专家在相关领域在一个休闲的设置提供了一个特别有益的机会，为非营利组织的学者，包括研究生，博士后研究助理，和助理教授交流思想，并从这个领先的研究人员聚会学习。这种旅行支持的可用性也将有助于我们努力保持高水平的多元化会议与会者。

This proposal requests funds to support the attendance of young scholars at the 2006 Gordon ResearchConference on the Chemistry and Physics of Nanostructure Fabrication that will be heldon July 16 - 21, 2006 at the Tilton College in Tilton, NH. The technical program is being organizedby Prof. Theresa S. Mayer, Penn State University (Chair) and Prof. Dawn Bonnell, Universityof Pennsylvania (Chair-Elect) and will emphasize ground breaking research at the intersectionbetween nanostructure synthesis and the devices and systems that are enabled using theseadvanced fabrication techniques.Intellectual Merit: The topics that will be discussed at this meeting are vital not only to today'sinformation revolution but to the fields of imaging and manipulation of chemical and biologicalstructures. The organization and atmosphere of Gordon Research Conferences stimulates opendiscussion among leading researchers of recent results and new techniques, which is particularlyimportant in the rapidly growing and changing field of nanoscience and technology. In addition,the highly interdisciplinary nature of the research discussed at this conference provides and excellentopportunity for cross fertilization of research ideas and methods. The topics that will behighlighted at this conference include nanostructure synthesis and self assembly, nano-patterningand printing, nano-electronics, -biosystems, -optics, -mechanics, and -fluidics.Broader Impact: The conference format a week of continuous interaction with experts in interrelatedfields in a casual setting provides a particularly rewarding opportunity for youngscholars including graduate students, post-doctoral research associates, and assistant professorsto exchange ideas with and to learn from this gathering of leading researchers. The availabilityof this travel support will also assist in our efforts to maintain a high level of diversity amongconference attendees.
