6th NSF-MEXT joint symposium on Nano-systems

CMMI-0652129 ABSTRACT：将于2006年10月10日、11日和12日在日本东京大学举办一次聚焦的、双边的美日研讨会，与会的有纳米级元素制造系统目标领域的领先研究人员和工程师。研讨会将探讨这些新型纳米材料和系统面临的机遇、障碍和挑战。讲习班的结果是，可以预见两国之间进行重大投资的国际合作的可能性。我们将由两国的领先专家对该领域进行审查。这来得正是时候。在纳米级积木的结构、电子、光学和传输特性方面已经取得了许多令人振奋的成果，这次研讨会的目的是提供一个论坛，让纳米系统不同方面的专家聚集在一起，分享相关研究的最新信息，并讨论未来的前景。提议活动的智力价值。纳米系统是由许多纳米尺度的元素组成的高度集成的系统。与目前以块状或薄膜形式使用的纳米材料不同，纳米系统的制造需要在图案化、加工、定位和互连各个组件方面具有纳米精度。为了实现纳米系统，需要将电子学、光学、力学(MEMS)、材料科学、生物技术和化学等不同学科在制造和应用方面结合起来。换句话说，所谓的自下而上和自上而下的方法都是必要的。拟议活动产生的广泛影响。来自NSF和硅谷公司的观察员将参加研讨会。我们还将向选定的学术和工业实验室宣传工作坊，以吸引感兴趣的研究人员来到观众身边，以最大限度地发挥工作坊的影响。讲习班的成果将以报告形式提交给国家科学基金会，并广泛分发，包括演示文稿幻灯片。讲习班的结果是，可以预见两国之间进行重大投资的国际合作的可能性。

CMMI - 0652129ABSTRACT:A focused, bi-lateral US-Japan Workshop is proposed for October 10, 11 and 12 of 2006 at the University of Tokyo, Japan, with leading researchers and engineers in the targeted area of building systems out of nanoscale elements. The workshop will explore the opportunities, barriers and challenges to these novel nanomaterials and systems. The possibilities for international collaboration between the two countries with major investment can be envisaged as a result of the Workshop. We will review the field by leading experts in both countries. This comes at an opportune time. Many exciting results on the structural, electronic, optical, and transport properties of nanoscale building blocks have already been achieved, and this symposium aims to provide a forum where experts in different aspects of nano systems get together, share information on the state-of-the-art of related research and discuss future prospects.Intellectual Merits of the proposal activities.A nano system is a highly integrated system composed of many elements that have dimensions of nanometers. Unlike nano materials that are currently used in bulk or film form, the fabrication of the nano system requires nanometer accuracy in patterning, machining, positioning and interconnecting individual components. In order realize the nano system, it is necessary to combine different disciplines such as electronics, optics,mechanics(MEMS), material science, bio technology and chemistry in terms of fabrication and application. In other words, so-called bottom-up and top-down approaches are both required.Broader Impact Resulting from the Proposed Activities.Observers from NSF and silicon valley companies will attend the Workshop. We will also advertise the workshop to selected academic and industrial labs to attract interested researchers to the audience to maximize the impact of the Workshop. The results of the Workshop will be presented in a report to NSF and made available for wide distribution, including presentation slides. The possibilities for international collaboration between the two countries with major investment can be envisaged as a result of the Workshop.
