Synthesis, Characterization, Modeling, and Applications

The 2014 Gordon Conference on "Noble Metal Nanoparticles" will strive to provide the same level of cutting-edge science and technology discussion that was the trademark of the 2010 and the 2012 previous two "Noble Metal Nanoparticles" conferences. The synthesis, characterization, modeling, and application of noble metal nanoparticles will be featured in the broadest possible way by creating sessions that put together chemists, physicists, material scientists, engineers, biologists, and doctors. There will be an attempt to create discussions that stem from a variety of disciplines as well as from a mixture of established and young scientists. The Conference will feature a wide range of topics, such as clusters, plasmonics, advanced characterization, assembly, biology, and a variety of applications. Some poster presenters will be selected for short talks. The atmosphere of this Conference, will be tuned to provide as many opportunities as possible for informal gatherings in the afternoons and evenings, so to create avenues for scientists from different disciplines to brainstorm and discuss. A great emphasis will be placed on the presentation and discussion of unpublished, novel, and exciting results.
