This award provides participant support for attendees of the International Conference and Workshop on MXenes: Changing the World to be held at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, USA, from August 5-7, 2024. The workshop focuses on the latest research and development activities in MXenes, a relatively novel 2D nanomaterial. Through oral and poster sessions, selected students, faculty, and prominent researchers present their latest research results in the areas of materials science, materials chemistry, materials processing, and advanced manufacturing of MXenes. To ensure diversity in participation at the conference, priority is given to women and underrepresented minority students. This award benefits the nation through the education of a skilled nanomaterials and manufacturing workforce, which is better prepared to provide transformative solutions to the challenges in their chosen fields. The conference plays a significant role in supporting and sustaining the important field of MXenes, a technology that is pervasive and impacts all industrial sectors with benefits to society. This conference is timely because of strong interest in the U.S in fostering the research and development of this family of technologically important novel nanomaterials that exhibit many useful and unique properties and potentially useful applications.This participant support is expected to benefit the students' professional, scientific, and technical development. Attendance at the conference gives the students a broader view of nanomaterials chemistry, ceramics, advanced manufacturing, their fundamentals, and applications. Workshop topics include contextualization of major MXene discoveries, identification of basic research areas, diversified education in novel 2D nanomaterials, and promotion of technological potential. Attendees learn about state-of-the-art research in their technical areas via access to several technical and professional development talks by leading domestic and international speakers. The broader impact activities include education outreach, knowledge transfer and skill development, diversity, equity and inclusion, industrial collaboration, global collaboration and leadership, and public engagement. Students enhance their communication skills through oral and poster presentations and in-depth discussions of their work with peers in their technical areas. This interactive experience significantly broadens student education, increases their enthusiasm for their research topic, acquaints them with expectations for scientific careers, and exposes them to novel approaches for innovative research. The conference also offers a foundational course on MXene synthesis.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.

该奖项为 MXenes 国际会议和研讨会的与会者提供支持：改变世界将于 2024 年 8 月 5 日至 7 日在美国宾夕法尼亚州费城德雷克塞尔大学举行。该研讨会重点关注最新的研发活动MXenes，一种相对新颖的二维纳米材料。通过口头和海报会议，选定的学生、教师和杰出研究人员展示了他们在材料科学、材料化学、材料加工和 MXene 先进制造领域的最新研究成果。为了确保会议参与的多样性，优先考虑女性和代表性不足的少数族裔学生。该奖项通过对熟练纳米材料和制造劳动力的教育使国家受益，他们可以更好地准备为所选择领域的挑战提供变革性解决方案。该会议在支持和维持 MXenes 这一重要领域中发挥着重要作用，MXenes 是一项普遍存在的技术，影响着所有工业部门，为社会带来好处。这次会议是及时的，因为美国对促进这一技术上重要的新型纳米材料系列的研究和开发有着浓厚的兴趣，这些材料表现出许多有用和独特的特性以及潜在的有用应用。这种参与者的支持预计将有利于学生的专业、科学发展和技术开发。参加会议让学生们对纳米材料化学、陶瓷、先进制造、其基础知识和应用有了更广阔的视野。研讨会主题包括 MXene 主要发现的背景、基础研究领域的确定、新型二维纳米材料的多元化教育以及技术潜力的提升。与会者通过参加国内和国际领先演讲者的多次技术和专业发展讲座，了解其技术领域的最先进研究。更广泛影响的活动包括教育外展、知识转移和技能发展、多样性、公平和包容性、工业合作、全球合作和领导力以及公众参与。学生通过口头和海报演示以及与技术领域的同行深入讨论他们的工作来提高他们的沟通技巧。这种互动体验极大地拓宽了学生的教育范围，提高了他们对研究课题的热情，让他们了解了对科学职业的期望，并让他们接触到创新研究的新方法。该会议还提供了有关 MXene 合成的基础课程。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。
