This unique conference will focus on the state-of-the-art research and development in energy-related materials, nanoscale phenomena, devices, systems, manufacturing, and commercialization.
The connection between nanotechnology and energy is inextricable-many unique physical phenomena occur at the nanoscale through confinement of allowable states of basic energy carries (electrons, phonons, and photons). The consequences of these phenomena are manifest in various areas of energy science and engineering and are being exploited with every-improving efficacy to improve energy technologies. Contributions that emphasize the scale-up of nanotechnology-based solutions with promising system-level energy performance prospects are particularly encouraged. Relevant application areas include, but not limited to, the following:
The conference will be held at Santa Clara University and will consist of plenary talks, invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations, and exhibitions and will provide opportunities for communication and collaboration among industry, academia, and venture capital organizations. Two main categories of contributions are solicited:
- Traditional technical papers and presentations from industry and academia, with emphasis on quantitative findings related to energy, according to the categories above. Accepted papers will be placed in oral and poster sessions according to the discretion of the conference and session organizers. Note that only poster papers will be eligible for the best paper award(s).
- Presentation of energy-related concepts for commercialization. Interested contributors to this category should prepare an abstract according to instructions at the conference web site. Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit a short paper with suitable graphics that describes their concept, both in terms of technical features and commercialization potential. Accepted contributions will be highlighted in poster and/or presentation formats at the conference, during which the contributors will be able to interact with leading venture capitalists.
Full papers will be published in conference proceedings. English is the official language of the conference.
