****Technical Abstract****The 2013 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Liquid Crystals (LCs) will explore new advances in liquid crystal science and technology and their role in novel forward thinking applications. The conference will be held at the University of New England, Biddeford, ME from June 16-21, 2013. Liquid crystal science has played a significant role in many basic and applied fields, including physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. Composed of anisotropic organic and biological molecules, liquid crystals interact with external fields and surfaces to influence strongly their orientational order, structure and properties. From the basic perspective, the orientational order and collective molecular behavior are central contributions to the biological science of self-assembly of membranes, to the dynamics of tissues and muscles activities, and to DNA assemblies. The extraordinary values and contributions of liquid crystals to the modern photonic and information display technologies have revolutionized the way we visualize and present information in so-called information displays, ranging from mobile to projection devices, flat panel TVs to 3D displays, and eco-friendly e-papers. The GRC on LCs will focus on their role in self-assembly, nanoscience, and biotechnology. The conference will address the most important current themes in liquid crystals presented by the world's leading scientists in the fields of biomedical science, engineering, and nanotechnology. ****Non-Technical Abstract****The 2013 Gordon Conference on Liquid Crystals will provide participants with a unique forum to disclose unpublished data, deliberate and challenge novel ideas outside the realm of accepted thought, and ultimately push outward the frontiers of science and innovation for a particular field. The meeting will provide a forum for career networking and career advancement and will support and encourage young scientists and graduate students as they take their first steps in the vibrant and intrinsically interdisciplinary research field of liquid crystals, helping them establish initial scientific and personal contacts. As a part of the outreach activities of the Conference, the funding will be used to support graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior scientists from underrepresented groups and enable the opportunity to build networks of friends and mentors and to forge long-term professional contacts. Ten women and minority speakers/discussion leaders are included in the preliminary program.

****技术摘要**** 2013年戈登研究会议（GRC）关于液晶（LCS）将探索液晶科学技术的新进步及其在新颖的前瞻性思维应用中的作用。该会议将于2013年6月16日至21日在我的新英格兰大学举行。液晶科学在许多基本和应用领域都发挥了重要作用，包括物理，化学，生物学，生物学和工程。液晶由各向异性有机和生物分子组成，与外部田间和表面相互作用，以强烈影响其定向秩序，结构和特性。从基本的角度来看，定向顺序和集体分子行为是对膜自组装，组织和肌肉活动的动力学以及对DNA组装的动力学的核心贡献。液晶对现代光子和信息显示技术的非凡价值和贡献彻底改变了我们在所谓的信息显示中可视化和呈现信息的方式，从移动设备到投影设备，平面电视，3D显示器以及环保友好型电子纸。 LCS的GRC将重点关注其在自组装，纳米科学和生物技术中的作用。该会议将介绍世界领先科学，工程和纳米技术领域世界领先科学家提出的液晶中最重要的主题。 ****非技术摘要**** 2013年戈登液晶会议将为参与者提供一个独特的论坛，以披露未出版的数据，故意和挑战公认思想领域之外的新颖思想，并最终向外推动前线特定领域的科学与创新。这次会议将为职业网络和职业发展提供论坛，并将支持并鼓励年轻的科学家和研究生，因为他们在充满活力和本质上跨学科的液晶研究领域迈出了第一步，帮助他们建立了初始的科学和个人联系。作为会议的外展活动的一部分，资金将用于支持研究生，博士后研究员和来自代表性不足的团体的初级科学家，并有机会建立朋友和导师的网络，并建立长期的专业联系。初步计划中包括十名妇女和少数派演讲者/讨论领导者。
