Fifteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO 2018)
Abstract
This proposal is for partial support of travel expenses and registration fees for keynote speakers, and for partial registration fee""s for invited speakers and conference assistants at the Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience, Snowbird, Utah, from April 16-""19, 2018. OVERVIEW. The Foundations of Nanoscience meeting (FNANO) was established by the International Society for Nanoscale Scienc""e, Computation, and Engineering in 2004 as a venue for the wide range of researchers interested in various aspects of self-assembly" as it relates to nanoscience and nanotechnology. The meeting features 12 tracks covering recent work in different types of self-ass"embled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale.Methodologies include both experimental as well a""s theoretical approaches. The conference spans traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science,"" mathematics, and various engineering disciplines including MEMS/NEMS systems. The emphasis is on basic, rather than applied researc""h. Last year~s meeting attracted 143 registered participants. The attendees are active researchers from academia, industry, andgove""rnment labs. Minorities, women, and persons with disabilities will be included and encouraged to participate. The high quality of th""e conference is ensured by: 1) Track chairs who are responsible forselection of excellent presenters with new results to share, 2)"" Vigorous discussions managed by the track chairs, and 3) Annual review of and changes in the track topics to keep them fresh and up"#NAME?"ATES OF FNANO18: Snowbird, Utah, April 16-19, 2018. FNANO18 Webpage: http://www.cs.duke.edu/FNANO18/ IMPACT AND RELEVANCE TO THE"" NAVY AND SPECIFICALLY TO ONR: Nanoscience has the potential to revolutionize the development of materials, devices and detectors at"" the molecular scale. The prior FNANO meetings (FNANO04, FNANO05, FNANO06, FNANO07, FNANO08, FNANO09, FNANO10, FNANO11, FNANO12, FNA""NO13, FNANO14,FNANO 15, FNANO16, and FNANO17) had a significant impact on the emerging fields of nanoscience and self-assembly by b"ringing together leading nanoscientists and researchers working in a wide variety of areas of self-assembly. The Fourteenth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience will have a mixture of invited talks by distinguished nanoscientists as well as contributed posters and open discussion periods to enhanceattendee interaction with the goal of creating vibrant intellectual community in the area of self-assembly.
