PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYOur society continuously benefits from the development of a wide range of advanced materials to solve technological challenges in applications ranging from super-alloy turbine blades, solar-cells, microelectronics to new therapeutics for human diseases such as malaria. Such materials are developed by scientists with diverse backgrounds including chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. Novel materials are often developed at the boundaries of these disciplines and the aim of the Gordon Research Conference on Crystal Growth & Assembly, is to bring together leading scientists from these different backgrounds in order to stimulate cross-fertilization. In an effort to promote broader impact, the format of the meeting emphasizes interaction with and active participation of young scientists, i.e., students and post-docs, in order to educate a new generation of researchers that will have to meet future materials challenges in a changing world where (some) resources become increasingly scarce. NSF's Division of Materials Research (DMR) acknowledges the importance of the conference by supporting stipends for registration fee and/or travel support for some participants through its Cross-Cutting Activities Program.PART 2: TECHNICAL SUMMARYThe Crystal Growth & Assembly Gordon Research Conference and Seminar is dedicated to the knowledge and understanding of the fundamental atomic and nanoscale physics and chemistry that are central to the nucleation and growth of crystals for a wide array of technologies. Such knowledge and understanding is needed to develop advanced materials for applications ranging from super-alloy turbine blades, solar-cells, microelectronics to new therapeutics for pathological diseases such as malaria. The 2017 conference has a particular focus on the self-assembly of meta-materials, a new class of materials that is expected to form the basis of novel applications, ranging from energy harvesting to self-healing materials. This conference, with support from NSF's Division of Materials Research (DMR), gathers leading scientists representing the major areas in the field of crystallization and brings them into contact with each other and, more importantly, with the next generation of researchers in the field to promote broader outreach within the crystal growth community. With respect to this larger goal, the meeting seeks to provide a common language for our diverse student body; to raise the comfort-level of our student/postdoc participants; and, through these efforts, to develop a tightly-woven community held together by a common interest in the principles of materials assembly. The accompanying Gordon Research Seminar that is dedicated to and organized by graduate students and post-doctoral researchers aids in the active participation of this new generation of scientists.

第 1 部分：非技术摘要我们的社会不断受益于各种先进材料的开发，以解决从超级合金涡轮叶片、太阳能电池、微电子到疟疾等人类疾病的新疗法等应用领域的技术挑战。此类材料是由化学、物理、材料科学和工程学等不同背景的科学家开发的。新颖的材料通常是在这些学科的边界上开发出来的，戈登晶体生长与组装研究会议的目的是将来自这些不同背景的领先科学家聚集在一起，以促进交叉受精。为了促进更广泛的影响，会议的形式强调与年轻科学家（即学生和博士后）的互动和积极参与，以教育新一代研究人员，使他们能够在未来的材料领域应对未来的挑战。不断变化的世界，（某些）资源变得越来越稀缺。 NSF 材料研究部 (DMR) 承认会议的重要性，通过其跨领域活动计划为一些参与者提供注册费津贴和/或旅行支持。第 2 部分：技术摘要晶体生长与组装戈登研究会议和研讨会致力于了解和理解基本原子和纳米级物理和化学，这些对于各种技术的晶体成核和生长至关重要。开发先进材料的应用范围从超级合金涡轮叶片、太阳能电池、微电子到疟疾等病理性疾病的新疗法，都需要这些知识和理解。 2017 年会议特别关注超材料的自组装，这是一种新型材料，预计将成为从能量收集到自修复材料等新型应用的基础。这次会议在 NSF 材料研究部 (DMR) 的支持下，聚集了代表结晶领域主要领域的领先科学家，使他们相互接触，更重要的是，与该领域的下一代研究人员进行接触促进晶体生长社区内更广泛的推广。就这一更大的目标而言，会议旨在为我们多元化的学生群体提供共同语言；提高学生/博士后参与者的舒适度；并通过这些努力，建立一个紧密结合的社区，通过对材料组装原理的共同兴趣而聚集在一起。随附的戈登研究研讨会专门为研究生和博士后研究人员组织，有助于新一代科学家的积极参与。
