Workshop on Nanocontacts and Nanointerconnects; San Francisco, California; April 5, 2010

在2010年材料研究学会（MRS）春季会议之前，该基金将于2010年4月5日在加州旧金山举办纳米接触和纳米互连研讨会。研讨会的目的是交流纳米接触和纳米互连技术的最新研究，并确定利用纳米结构（如纳米点、纳米线、纳米管和纳米电缆阵列集成）的关键科学和工程挑战和机遇。本次研讨会将汇集几个国家实验室、行业和大学院系，以一种允许研究生和博士后最广泛参与的形式，并将作为一个会议，帮助和加强教师和学生对纳米接触和纳米互连的理解，并将为行业、国家实验室和大学之间的合作研究打开机会。工作坊将提供绝佳的机会，让学生了解他们感兴趣的行业，而行业参与者则可获得研究界所追求的技术的第一手资料。

This grant provides funding to hold a Workshop on Nanocontacts and Nanointerconnects on April 5, 2010, in San Francisco, California, preceding the 2010 Material Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting. The purpose of the workshop is to communicate the latest research on Nanocontacts and Nanointerconnects technology and to identify the key scientific and engineering challenges and opportunities to capitalize on nanostructures such as nanodots, nanowire, nanotubes and nanocables array integration.This workshop will bring together several national labs, industries and university faculties in a format that allows the widest participation for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and would serve as a meeting to help and enhance faculties' and students' understanding of Nanocontacts and Nanointerconnects and will open opportunities for cooperative research between industries, national labs and universities. The workshop will provide excellent opportunities for students to find out what industry is interested and the industry participants get first-hand knowledge of the technology that are being pursued in the research community.
