The design of artefacts commonly involves the convergence of many technologies; this re-mains true for artefacts now being created at the nanoscale. However, round about 2000 the phrase ???converging technologies??? acquired a special interpretation related to the convergence of biotechnology, nanotechnology, information technology and cognitive science (acronym BNIC) for the improvement of ???human performance.???

New.Mech is a one-day workshop designed to bring together New England’s Mechanics community looking to explore new research and share advancements in the field. This workshop — co-hosted by Harvard MRSEC — will not only include keynote presentations and three-minute talk sessions but will also provide participants with the opportunity to display their own demos. More information including the workshop program is available at newmech.org.

The University of Colorado, Boulder will host the Frontiers of Photoactive Soft Matter Workshop -- a two-day event focusing on advances in soft materials that are responsive to light. Topics range from the nanoscale science of photoresponsive materials to applications of macroscopic photodeformation. Learn more about the workshop.

UD CHARM joins Princeton University’s Center for Complex Materials to host a one-day symposium to promote early-career researchers in the field of Soft Matter. Participation will bring together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and senior undergrads from around the United States, with a focus on those from under-represented groups, to celebrate diversity and creativity in this emerging field.
