Self Organizing and Adaptive Systems: 2013 Foresight Technical Conference=
Session Spotlight
------------------------------------------------------------
Foresight Institute (www.foresight.org)
** 2013 Foresight Technical Conference: Illuminating Atomic Precision
January 11-13, 2013
The Crowne Plaza Hotel, Palo Alto, CA, USA
------------------------------------------------------------
** Session Spotlight 2: Self Organizing and Adaptive Systems
On Saturday January 12th, the second day of the conference
(https://www.foresight.org/conference/schedule/) , we'll explore the interplay
between architecture and dynamics at the nanoscale and ask how systems under
flux can accomplish precise operations at the nanoscale without exterior
'top down' control.
------------------------------------------------------------
**
The session will start with an introduction to the area by session chair Lee
Cronin (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Lee-Cronin-session-chair/) of
Glasgow University, who will describe his group's research using networks of
one-pot chemical reactions to self assemble gigantic nanoscale molecules.
Neil Champness (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Neil-Champness/) will
describe how supramolecular control of building blocks on surfaces can be used
to make highly complex and non-repeating structures.
Bartosz Grybowski (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Bartosz-A-Grzybowski/)
will describe his research on diffusion in nanosystems and the assembly of
non-equilibrium systems.
Bruno Pignataro (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Bruno-Pignataro/) will
explore how 3-D non-equilibrium defined assemblies can be used to make more
efficient plastic solar cells.
And Oliver Steinbock (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Oliver-Steinbock/)
will cover how non-equilibrium materials fabrication can be utilized in the
formation of new material architectures with novel functions and links with the
origin of life.
Finally, Rein Ulijn (https://www.foresight.org/conference/Rein-Ulijn/) will
discuss his work on adaptive soft matter through molecular networks and
describe how phase changing materials can be used to affect molecular processes.

AWARDS BANQUET - https://www.foresight.org/conference/banquet/
The Foresight Feynman Awards Banquet will be held at the conference on Saturday
night. The 2011 and 2012 awards for Theory and Experiment, and the 2012 Student
Award will all be presented at the Banquet. (Separate registration required.
The event invariably sells out. Register early.)
FORESIGHT HISTORY - www.foresight.org (http://www.foresight.org/)
It has been 26 years since Foresight was founded: long before the discovery of
graphene, the development of quantum dots, semiconductor manufacturing
processes below the visible light diffraction limit, nanometer scale integrated
circuit features, single atom gated transistor devices, quantum computers,
mechanical bonds and molecular machines, mechanochemistry, DNA origamis and RNA
walkers, self-assembled molecularly perfect monolayers, modular self-assembling
chemical systems, and a wide variety of other nanoscale and atomic and
molecular technologies. These developments in one way or another have brought
us closer to one of Foresight's core goals - the realization of atomically and
molecularly precise processes, materials, and devices. But a lot of work
remains to be done to realize the benefits - perhaps profound- of applying such
technologies productively to real world problems on the macro scale.
This conference aims to spur progress in doing just that. We hope to see you
there!
