2.Photosynthesis
Dates	08 Jul 2012 → 13 Jul 2012	[ID=455313]
Location	Davidson, NC, United States
Organizer	Gordon Research Conferences
Abstract	Solar energy is the only clean, renewable source of energy that has sufficient capacity to replace fossil fuels and meet rising global energy needs. To decrease our reliance on fossil fuels, our challenge is to harness solar energy as a storable fuel on a massive scale. Meeting this challenge means understanding photosynthetic energy conversion at a molecular level, a task requiring perspectives from all disciplines of science. Researchers in photosynthesis have a long innovative history of working across conventional boundaries and engaging in multidisciplinary collaborations. For several decades, the Gordon Research Conference on Photosynthesis has been a key international focal point for the dissemination of new results and the forging of new research collaborations. Continuing this tradition, the 2012 Photosynthesis GRC will bring together top international researchers from diverse and complementary disciplines, all working towards understanding how photosynthesis converts light into the stable chemical energy that powers so much of our world. Few other biological innovations have more profoundly transformed life on Earth than the capture and conversion of solar energy by the photosynthetic machinery. The chemical energy and molecular oxygen produced by this machinery has driven the proliferation of life on Earth and profoundly shaped all life forms.

3.Fuel Cells
Dates	05 Aug 2012 → 10 Aug 2012	[ID=455753]
Location	Smithfield, RI, United States
Organizer	Gordon Research Conferences
Abstract	Ours is a field in transition. On the one hand, several automakers are preparing to field substantial numbers of cars starting in a few years and appear committed for the long term. By and large, 'first generationâ' PEM fuel cell designs are essentially mature, with most major technical hurdles, except cost, under control. On the other hand, there is no denying that a political headwind faces our field, at least in the US. The fuel cell field has enjoyed a development path that is uniquely grounded in scientific advances. Breakthrough after breakthrough has emerged from the close collaboration of scientists and technologists. This is quite different from the more empirical path that seems typical, for example, of the battery field. In this context, we are developing a program for the GRC that considers what comes next for fuel cells and related technologies. We focus on the limits of present technology, asking how and what science might circumvent those limits. We will also explore those related areas in which the extensive science developed during the roughly 20 years of rapid progress on fuel cells might be fruitfully leveraged. The latter includes technologies of tangential overlap such as air electrodes for other applications, flow batteries, microbial fuel cells and so on. We also want to consider the larger context of hydrogen-based systems. Above all, we seek to return the GRC to the predominantly scientific flavor that is the particular hallmark of the 'GRC' brand.
