NSRC Contractors meeting
From May 31-June 2, 2011, representatives from the Department of Energy Basic Energy Science Nanoscale Science Reserach
Centers (NSRCs) and E-Beam Micro-characterization Centers gathered in Maryland for the 2011 Contractors’ Meeting. The purpose
of the Contractors’ Meeting is to bring together researchers - facility scientists and facility users of the BES EBMC and NSRC facilities
and leading experts across the multi-disciplinary spectrum
served by these facilities - to foster discussion 19
of the latest research results, catalyze collaborations,
and stimulate ideas for promising new directions for Our Novel SiNW Synthesis Method
investigation. Dynamic exploration of research ideas
and capability needs will also help DOE in assessing
the needs of the research community to chart future
program directions.
CINT was featured in the meeting with presentations
by CINT Scientist Jianyu Huang titled In-Situ TEM
Electrochemistryof Li-Ion Battery Materials, and CINT
User Dan Gianola from University of Pennsylvania
with a talk on Quantative In-Situ Mechanical Testing
of Nanowires. There were also 12 poster presentations
from a combination of CINT Users, scientist, and
postdocs.

MRS Meeting
The NSRCs continue to work to
attract new users. One method
is to host a booth at some of
the larger technical conferences
that attract potential
users. In 2011, the NSRCs
joined together at the Materials
Research Society Fall Meeting
in Boston.
