International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology (ICN+T 2014); Vail, Colorado; July 20-25, 2014

该奖项是对将于2014年7月20-25日在科罗拉多州维尔举行的国际纳米科学与技术会议(ICN+T 2014)的部分支持。这一重要的国际会议将为讨论纳米科学和技术的最新发展以及扫描探头和相关仪器技术的最新进展提供一个单一的论坛。为了促进和加速纳米科学和纳米技术领域的进步和突破，这一领域的主要研究人员定期举行会议是必要的，以交流想法、信息和最新技术。这次国际会议是将基础科学与工程学联系起来开发纳米产品的关键机制，纳米产品对美国和世界经济都具有重要意义。这次会议每两年举行一次，为公开交流新的和以前未发表的科学思想提供了一个论坛。它将涵盖从纳米电子学到纳米医学再到纳米制造的各种主题。会议包括专题介绍和国际与会者之间的广泛讨论和互动。这个论坛在许多纳米技术领域的突破性和变革性想法的产生和孵化方面发挥了重要作用。这个奖项将部分支持初级参与者的参与，包括研究生、博士后研究员和早期职业教师。预计将有400人出席会议。

This award is for the partial support of the International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology (ICN+T 2014), to be held in Vail, Colorado, July 20-25, 2014. This major international meeting will provide a single forum for discussion of the latest developments in nano-scale science and technology and recent advances in scanning probe and related instrumentation techniques. Regular meetings of the key researchers in this field are necessary for the exchange of ideas, information, and state-of-the-art technologies, in order to enable and accelerate advances and breakthroughs the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. This international conference is a key mechanism for linking basic science with engineering towards the development of nano-enabled products, which are of significant importance to the US and world economies. This conference is held biannually and offers a forum for the open exchange of new and previously unpublished scientific ideas. It will cover a variety of topics ranging from nanoelectronics to nanomedicine to nanomanufacturing. The conference includes presentations and extended discussions and interactions among international participants. This forum has been instrumental in the generation and incubation of breakthrough and transformative ideas in many areas of nanotechnology.This award will partially support the participation of junior participants, including graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career faculty members. A total of 400 attendees are expected at the conference.
