Non-Technical SummaryThe 2024 Solid State Chemistry Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) are supported in part by the NSF Division of Materials Research (Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program). They take place at Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH, with the GRC (July 21-26, 2024) featuring discussion of cutting-edge research from the best scientists worldwide at all stages of career, and the associated GRS (July 20-21, 2024) directed to training younger scientists to present their research. The topics discussed under the scientific theme of "Diverse Approaches to Functional Materials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Data-Driven Discoveries" are important for fulfilling NSF's missions to promote the progress of science (e.g., to discover better materials by gaining a deeper understanding of how their properties are controlled by their structure); to advance national health, prosperity, and welfare (e.g., to solve critical problems in energy and sustainability); and to secure the national defense (e.g., to develop robust systems for energy self-sufficiency). To address these challenges, the unique format of these meetings promotes unencumbered exchange of unpublished research results and exploration of new ideas through diverse viewpoints from scientists in academia, industry, and government laboratories. The relatively remote location of these meetings ensures that participants are free from distractions and promotes informal interactions between early career and more experienced researchers to help grow the scientific community. In the GRS, graduate students and postdocs learn from peer mentors to present research ideas in a professional setting, acquire confidence, develop leadership skills, and consider potential career paths. The programs for these meetings reflect a strong commitment to diversity initiatives, ensuring that participants from traditionally underrepresented groups are given opportunities to present their research, that they receive registration and travel support, and that those with special needs are appropriately accommodated. An open forum called the "Power Hour" is scheduled within the GRC to promote discussion about challenges in diversity and inclusion in the scientific community.Technical SummarySolid state chemistry focuses on the synthesis, structure, properties, and applications of materials with extended structures. It contributes to significant advances in fundamental scientific knowledge, through initiatives connected with NSF's "Big Ideas," including Quantum Leap (e.g., quantum and magnetic materials, superconductors), Harnessing the Data Revolution (e.g., high-throughput materials discovery through machine learning), and Mid-scale Research Infrastructure (e.g., in situ and in operando characterization). It makes broad impacts to confront critical problems in energy, sustainability, and societal needs, including batteries, solar cells, lasers, magnets, light-emitting diodes, hard materials, superconductors, and catalysts. The fundamental goal of solid state chemistry is to design better materials with greater control and predictability, by developing relationships connecting composition and structure to the properties and function of materials. At the Solid State Chemistry GRC and GRS, researchers are invited to share their diverse approaches to solve this problem, by proposing new creative synthetic routes, applying more powerful characterization tools, and developing data-driven methods to discover new materials. Different perspectives are offered from scientists at all stages of career in academic, industrial, and national laboratories. The scope is expanded to new classes of materials, such as topological solids, high-entropy alloys, hybrid materials, and mixed-anion compounds. To encourage deeper scientific inquiry, the format of both meetings includes ample opportunities for discussion during the oral and poster presentations. The “no publication” policy fosters open communication and many networking activities provide opportunities to initiate collaborations, promote learning, and maximize use of shared infrastructure.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

非技术摘要 2024 年固态化学戈登研究会议 (GRC) 和戈登研究研讨会 (GRS) 得到了 NSF 材料研究部（固态和材料化学项目）的部分支持，它们在美国科尔比索耶学院举行。新罕布什尔州新伦敦，GRC（2024 年 7 月 21 日至 26 日）的特色是讨论世界各地职业生涯各个阶段最优秀科学家的前沿研究，相关的 GRS（2024 年 7 月 20 日至 21 日）旨在培训年轻科学家展示他们的研究成果，在“功能材料的多种方法：合成、表征和数据驱动的发现”这一科学主题下讨论的主题对于以下领域非常重要。履行 NSF 促进科学进步的使命（例如，通过更深入地了解其特性如何受其结构控制来发现更好的材料），以促进国家健康、繁荣和福利； （例如，解决能源和可持续性方面的关键问题）；并确保国防（例如，开发强大的能源自给自足系统）。为了应对这些挑战，这些会议的独特形式促进了未发表研究的不受阻碍的交流。这些会议的地点相对偏远，可以确保参与者不受干扰，并促进早期职业研究人员和经验丰富的研究人员之间的非正式互动。在 GRS 中，研究生和博士后向同行导师学习，在专业环境中提出研究想法，获得信心，培养领导技能，并考虑潜在的职业道路。这些会议的计划反映了对以下方面的坚定承诺。多样性倡议，确保来自传统上代表性不足群体的参与者有机会展示他们的研究成果，确保他们获得注册和旅行支持，并确保有特殊需要的人得到适当的照顾，在 GRC 内安排了一个名为“Power Hour”的开放论坛。促进关于多样性和包容性挑战的讨论技术摘要固态化学专注于具有扩展结构的材料的合成、结构、性质和应用，它通过与 NSF 的“大创意”相关的举措（包括量子飞跃），为基础科学知识的重大进步做出了贡献。例如，量子和磁性材料、超导体）、利用数据革命（例如，通过机器学习发现高通量材料）和中型研究基础设施（例如，原位和现场研究）它对解决能源、可持续性和社会需求方面的关键问题产生了广泛的影响，包括电池、太阳能电池、激光器、磁铁、发光二极管、硬质材料、超导体和催化剂。化学的目的是通过建立材料的成分和结构与性能和功能之间的关系来设计具有更好控制性和可预测性的更好材料。在固态化学 GRC 和 GRS 上，研究人员受邀分享他们解决这一问题的各种方法。学术、工业和国家实验室各个职业阶段的科学家提出了新的创造性合成路线、应用更强大的表征工具以及开发数据驱动的方法来发现新材料。为了鼓励更深入的科学探究，这两次会议的形式都包括在口头和海报展示期间提供充足的讨论机会。政策促进开放的沟通和许多网络活动提供了发起合作、促进学习和最大限度地利用共享基础设施的机会。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
