Dear Colleague, It is with great pleasure to announce the “International Conference on Nanomaterials and Nanosystems” (NanoMats2009; www.nanomats.itu.edu.tr) to be held at İstanbul Technical University-İstanbul/Turkey, during August 10-13, 2009. The NanoMats2009, endorsed by the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS; www.emrs-strasbourg.com ). The NanoMats2009 is organized in collaboration with scientists from İstanbul Technical University, Akron University and Stevens Institute of Technology based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the administrative bodies of these institutions. The aim of NanoMats2009 is to bring together International and Turkish scientists and academicians who work in various areas of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for the ultimate purpose of preparing joint research projects on various aspects of nanomaterials and nanosystems and to start collaborative research programs. The conference will bring together researchers from physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering to review the current status, to share new ideas and results to delineate outstanding problems and to guide future research. The NanoMats2009 will also have a strong educational and student outreach component will provide opportunities for young investigators to present their research findings and to learn about the most recent developments in this rapidly moving field. The conference will focus on the fundamental phenomena at nanoscale, synthesis, properties, characterisation and modeling of nanomaterials, nanotechnologies involving nanodevices and nanosystems, imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at nanoscale. The topics will include, but not limited to 1. Synthesis & Properties of Nanomaterials 2. Characterisation at Nanocsale 3. Self assembling at Nanoscale 4. Nanodevice & Nanosystems Fabrication 5. Nanoparticles & Nanowires 6. Carbon and Boron Nanostructures 7. Nanomagnetic materials 8. Bionanotechnology 9. Nanoelectronics & Nanophotonics 10. Nanosensors 11. Spintronics 12. Nanoscale Systems 13. Nanotextile & Energy I look forward to see you in İstanbul at NanoMats2009.
