NEW! Two best student paper awards will be presented - students who submit papers are eligible.
NEW! Financial assistance for students who submit papers will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis (details to follow).
Publication Note
Selected papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in an ASME Journal, following the Journal review standard. Authors should bring copies of their full papers to the conference for on-site review. The format of these papers should follow the journal guidelines for initial submission provided in the Author Resources section of the ASME Journal Submission site. These versions should not include the ASME logo or any ASME copyright statement. The number that corresponds to the conference abstract can be included in the paper.

There is a growing awareness that nanoscience and nanotechnology can have a profound impact on energy generation, storage, and utilization by exploiting the significant differences of energy states and transport in nanostructures and macrostructures. Nanotechnology-based solutions are being developed for a wide range of energy problems such as: solar electricity, hydrogen generation and storage, batteries, fuel cells, and thermoelectrics.
There are common scientific foundations and technological challenges for the wide spectrum of energy technologies. Industrial applications of nanotechnology to energy present unique requirements in cost, precision, and processes: for example, electrical current flows are more parallel than serial suggesting a higher defects tolerance for nanotechnology-based energy systems. The aim of this forum is to bring together different disciplines of energy technology by exploring their commonalities as well as their differences through exploiting nanoscience and nanotechnology.
The conference will feature invited and contributed presentations, poster sessions, academic-industrial-government panels, and investment opportunities.
By providing a bridge for scientists and practitioners we will address real-world challenges.
