Topics CoveredOver the next few decades, manufacturing is expected to undergo a profound change. Advances in miniaturization will reach the level of individual atoms and products will be designed and built to atomically-precise specifications. This conference is a meeting of scientists and technologists working in fields leading toward molecular nanotechnology: thorough three-dimensional structural control of materials and devices at the molecular level. The conference will cover topics relevant to the pursuit of molecular control, drawing from fields such as:
AbstractsAccepted AbstractsSubmission information:
There will be oral presentations and a poster session during the conference. The poster session will be held on Friday afternoon. On Saturday there will be additional time for viewing and discussion of the posters. For those who wish to submit papers, abstracts are due June 16, 2000. The abstracts should be no longer than 500 words including references and footnotes. Each submitted abstract may include only one graphic in jpg or gif format. The size should be no larger than 250 x 250 pixels (will be displayed at 72 dpi). Abstracts not in the appropriate format will be returned without being considered. Late Abstracts will be considered on a case by case basis. All accepted abstracts and papers will be permanently available on the WWW at www.foresight.org or the author's server. More information on preparing abstracts.Electronic Abstract SubmissionsFull PapersA special conference issue of the journal Nanotechnology will be published. Submissions are optional, but strongly encouraged. Authors of abstracts accepted for either talks or for poster presentation are strongly encouraged, but not required, to submit full papers based upon their abstracts. Full papers may be submitted to Foresight to be permanently archived on the Conference Web site. They may also be submitted to the journal to be peer reviewed for inclusion in a special issue devoted to papers presented at the Conference. In the case of papers submitted both to the Conference Web site and to journal, the version of the paper published on the Web site will be considered a draft of the final version to be published by the journal. Papers to be both archived on the Web site and submitted to the journal must be submitted separately to Foresight and to the journal, as detailed below.
