Congressi Stefano Franscini
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich
Swiss National Science Foundation
Science at the nanometer scale is a field at the intersection of physics, biotechnology, chemistry, and material science which has been steadily gaining momentum in recent years and has become important for novel technological developments. Nanoscience is located at the frontier of state-of-the-art research exploring and designing the properties of matter at the level of its molecular building blocks and supramolecular assemblies.
The conference will focus on recent progress and developments. Topics will range from high resolution molecular imaging and molecular reaction dynamics to its relevant applications in catalysis and sustainable energy conversion.
The conference will continue a very successful earlier meeting in 2014. It will give scientists from different disciplines a common forum for the presentation of their recent results promoting an exchange of ideas across discipline boundaries. Moreover the conference aims at the education and motivation of graduate students and post-docs who
