Scanning Probe microscopy (SPM) is one of the major tools responsible for the emergence of what is called “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology”. Various high-resolution SPM techniques proved to be capable of probing local electrical, magnetic, chemical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties of matter at the nanoscale level as well as changing these properties in a controlled manner. We observe now a tremendous proliferation of the areas of SPM applications in condensed matter, materials science, chemistry, bioengineering and nanotechnology. Your contributions are invited in all areas of SPM techniques related to study materials and processes at nanoscale, in particular:

• Novel development of SMP techniques
• SPM in biological and biomolecular applications
• SPM in application to nanotechnology

This session will take place on the afternoon of Thursday, June 3rd, and all day on Friday, June 4th, in Kellas 101.

Session organizer

Prof. Igor Sokolov is professor of chemistry at Clarkson University, and director of the NanoBioLaboratory at Clarkson.

Session sponsor

This session is sponsored by Veeco, Inc., manufacturer of atomic force microscopes and other instruments for nanotechnology. Veeco provides the tools to make, measure and visualize today's world-changing technologies.
