Support of Twelfth Conference on the Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO 2015)

Abstract

This contract was for partial support of honoraria and registration fees for speakers at the Conference on Foundations of Nanoscience, Snowbird, Utah from Snowbird, Utah, April 13-16, 2015 The Foundations of Nanoscience (FNANO) conference was established by the International Society for Nanoscale Science, 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-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from nano-scale to meso-scale. Methodologies include both experimental as well as 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 research. The attendees are active researchers from academia, industry, and government labs. The high quality of the conference is ensured by 1) track chairs who are responsible for selection 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 to date.
