Nanoscale Science and Technology Division (NS): explores the science and technology that emerges when the material is shrunk to the nanoscale. Researchers from around the globe will present their work on topics such as nanoscale devices and quantum systems exploiting nanoscale design and characterization. The role of nanomaterials in novel devices and structures is highlighted, particularly their surface chemistry, energetics, mechanics, and morphology. Specific emphasis will be placed on the key connections between nanoscale physical and chemical phenomena as probed and manipulated by scanning probe tips, electromagnetic radiation, electrons, and ions, as well as approaches to harness these phenomena for nanoscale and atom-by-atom device and material fabrication. All of this understanding is enhanced by recent developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The NS program particularly promotes novel physical phenomena emerging in these nanosystems, and their applications for quantum information systems, sensing, and beyond.
