This grant provides partial funds for the organization of the 16th International Conference on Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM) at the University of Maryland, College Park on August 5-9, 2013, specifically to support travel stipends and to enable the participation of U.S. graduate students and junior faculty members. The conference will host approximately 60 oral presentations and 100 posters focusing on topics such as sub-atomic imaging resolution in ultra-high vacuum and milli-Kelvin temperatures, nanoscale tribology, chemical force microscopy and multi-scale modeling techniques that combine atomistic simulation with classical mechanics.Hosting the conference in the U.S. in 2013 will enable a large number of domestic investigators to attend and interact with the most prominent researchers in the field of NC-AFM, most of whom reside in Europe and Japan. Exposure of young investigators to presentations on the latest NC-AFM techniques and their application to scientific and engineering problems will help educate the next generation of scientists and raise the level of interest in the U.S., such that the country can emerge as a competitor in this important area of nanoscale science and technology.

这笔赠款为 2013 年 8 月 5 日至 9 日在马里兰大学帕克分校举办的第 16 届非接触原子力显微镜国际会议 (NC-AFM) 提供部分资金，特别是支持差旅费并让美国研究生和初级教员。 会议将举办约 60 场口头报告和 100 张海报，重点讨论超高真空和毫开尔文温度下的亚原子成像分辨率、纳米级摩擦学、化学力显微镜以及将原子模拟与经典相结合的多尺度建模技术等主题。 2013年在美国举办会议将使大量国内研究人员能够参加并与NC-AFM领域最杰出的研究人员进行互动，其中大多数研究人员居住在欧洲和日本。 让年轻研究人员接触最新的 NC-AFM 技术及其在科学和工程问题中的应用的演示将有助于教育下一代科学家并提高美国的兴趣程度，从而使该国能够成为该领域的竞争者纳米科学技术的重要领域。
