Nanoscience: Challenges for the Future We recorded a tiny portion of the programming from the ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City. No big deal, really. Unless you’re interested in hearing and seeing what some of the world’s top nanoscientists presented.
The theme for the recently-concluded ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City was Nanoscience: Challenges for the Future. Paul Weiss, Editor-in-Chief of ACS Nano, organized the Kavli Foundation ACS Presidential Plenary Symposium on Challenges in Nanoscience, which featured some of the world’s top nano experts. Many of these scientists permitted ACS to record and to post their presentations online.

ACS President Thomas H. Lane, The Kavli Foundation, the ACS Multidisciplinary Programming and Planning Group, and the ACS Board Committee on Professional and Member Relations - among others – provided their support so that these presentations could be made available at no cost.
In all, over 30 nano presentations can be found by visiting www.softconference.com/ACSchem. Among others, you’ll find the following presentations online: Œ Raymond Astumian, Generalized Fluctuation-Dissipation Relations for Brownian Sieves and Molecular Machines Œ Ashleigh Baber, Thermal and Mechanical Activation of Single-Molecule Thioether Rotors Œ Angela Belcher, From Nature and Back Again: Giving New Life to Materials for Energy Œ Roman Boulatov, Maximum Force Obtainable from a Molecular Photoactuator Œ Vicki Colvin, Nanotechnology in the Environment: Safety by Design Œ Miguel Garcia-Garibay, Crystalline Arrays of Molecular Gyroscopes: Toward the Limit of Barrierless Rotation in Solid State Materials Œ Mark Haidekker, Molecular Rotors: TICT Fluorophores with Mechanosensitive Properties Œ James Hutchison, Greener Nanoscience: A Proactive Approach to Advancing Applications and Reducing Implications of Nanotechnology Œ Heather Kalish, Microchip Analysis of Neuronal Secretions by Immunoaffinity Capillary Electrophoresis Œ Anatoly Kolomeisky, Thermally-Driven Nanocars and Molecular Rotors: What Can We Learn from Molecular Dynamics Simulations Œ Josef Michl, Toward Designed Surface Ferroelectricity Œ John Rogers, Techniques for Molecular Scale and 3-D Nanofabrication Œ Mehmet Sarikaya, Biohesion: Coupling Synthetic and Biological Entities Using Genetically Engineered Peptides Œ George Whitesides, Nanotechnology in Adolescence
