2018 Noble Metal Nanoparticles Gordon Research Conference and Seminar
Abstract
The 2018 Gordon Research Conference on Noble Metal Nanoparticles hosted the same invigorating level of cutting-edge science and technology that had made the previous four Noble Metal Nanoparticles conferences so successful. Speakers and Discussion Leaders were drawn from a complementary mix of experimentalists and theoreticians over a wide range of fields, including chemistry, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, and more. Oral presentations and poster sessions invoked lively discussions that cut across several disciplines and included participants from diverse backgrounds. Research topics featured the synthesis and assembly of metallic nanoparticles including hybrid and non-noble metal nanostructures that support collective excitations, the theoretical understanding of surface plasmons and their interactions with light, electrons, molecules, and other nanostructures, and applications that range from photocatalysis to nanomechanics and nanomedicine. At the conclusion of the Conference, selected poster presenters were invited to give short talks to showcase their work. Outside of planned events, attendees had many opportunities for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings to build networks and spur new research ideas. Young scientists were highly encouraged to participate in this Conference as well as the related Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Noble Metal Nanoparticles. As always, a great emphasis was placed on unpublished, novel, and exciting results. This was a vibrant and stimulating atmosphere for furthering new and impactful research for noble metal nanoparticles and other nanostructures including hybrid materials and assembled superstructures, which all have in common that they support the excitation of surface plasmon resonances.
