Institute of Standards and Technology; Sylvia T. Ceyer,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Wilhelm B. Gauster,
Sandia National Laboratories; Ned B. Bowden, University
of Iowa; Philip Collins, Nanomix Inc.; David Dixon,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Charles H.F.
Peden, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Thursday, 12 February
12:30PM–5:30PM
Friday, 13 February
9:00AM–5:30PM
Sponsored by: Battelle, L'Oreal, and National
Institute for Standards and Technology
The 2004 Nanoscience and Nanoengineering Seminar will
examine areas where research is opening exciting new
potentials for this emerging field. Entire systems of
nanosized components to enable mechanical, electrical
and chemical functions are being designed and tested.
The intersection of chemistry, physics and biology at
the nanoscale could lead to revolutionary approaches
for medical diagnoses and treatment of disease, energy
production and computing. One focus of this year’s
seminar is self-assembly, the controllable aggregation
of distinct components into new structures and systems,
as a strategy for producing useful devices, such as
nanosensors. The unique chemistry occurring on nanostructured
catalysts is another rapidly emerging area explored
in this seminar. This one and a half day seminar brings
together leading researchers from the diverse scientific
disciplines that comprise this rapidly advancing field.
