Meetings/Workshops on Applied Physics: X-rays, Synchrotron Radiation and Crystallography in the United States (USA)

Crystal Engineering as a science has always been at the intersection of chemical physics, synthetic chemistry, crystallography and material science. This meeting seeks to emphasize those connections and explore applications of crystal engineering in smart materials, pharmaceuticals, porous phases, cocrystals etc.

The ability to control crystallization and dictate the organization of atomic and molecular building blocks in the solid state using principles of crystal engineering is rapidly evolving to the point where properties can be realized through design rather than serendipity. Progress in this area will take place at the intersection of organic, inorganic, materials, and physical chemistry and requires a unique interface of experimental and theoretical tools provided by academia and industry. The collective purpose of the GRC and GRS is to bring together a wide range of experts with diverse backgrounds and will consist of the session topics noted below. The theme of "Progress in Crystal Engineering Design, Properties, and Function" aims to capture developments being made in Crystal Engineering on multiple fronts.

The focus of this meeting is to address emerging topics regarding semiconductor nanocrystals as scaffolds for photochemical applications, such as photocatalysis and solar fuel production, while shining light on their underlying mechanisms of charge/energy transport.

This GRC brings together leading researchers from across the full spectrum of fundamental and applied nanocrystal science to discuss cutting-edge advances, grand challenges, and emerging opportunities in this rich research field.

The Gordon Research Seminar on Diffraction Methods in Structural Biology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

A new wave of crystallography experiments has emerged in recent years that expand the scope of experiments beyond traditional structure determination. Time-resolved experiments, X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), and in-situ room-temperature experiments now provide a wide range of methods to probe protein structures in a crystalline environment. These offer the possibility to determine protein structures as a function of time and physical experimental parameters, and promise to drastically change our understanding of protein structures and dynamics. This seminar will cover the full range of these new possibilities within crystallography.

This year the Diffraction Methods GRC will revisit and reassess the fundamentals of crystallography and the assumptions that lie behind them. The last few years have seen a rapid evolution in sources (FELs, diffraction limited synchrotrons, neutrons and electrons), detectors and data collection methods (serial/multi-crystal, room temperature) that has prompted a rethinking of how we should best collect and process data, especially the weak data that are now measurable with modern detectors.

Phased array systems have made major steps forward with the development of many major radar and communications systems. Due to many recent advances, including MMIC, photonics, and digital beamforming, phased array systems and technology continue to progress rapidly. Current and future developments of ground -based, sea-based, airborne, and space -based phased array radar, communications, and other electronic systems will be discussed at this international symposium.
