The conference\nis sponsored by the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the\nGeorgia Institute of Technology. It will take place September 14-17, 2010, at\nthe Hampton Inn \u0026amp; Suites Amelia Island Historic Harbor Front Hotel in\nAmelia Island, Florida. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cThe symposium brings together engineers and scientists from\naround the world to discuss recent progress and future trends in the rapidly\ndeveloping science and technology of epitaxial graphene,\u201d said Walt de Heer,\nRegents\u2019 Professor in Georgia Tech\u2019s School\nof Physics and a pioneer in graphene-based electronics. \u201cThe symposium will\ncover a broad range of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide\ntopics,\u0026nbsp;including surface science and growth, transport, optical\nproperties, chemistry, devices and\ntheory.\u0026nbsp; The discussions during this symposium will help to establish the\nfuture directions of epitaxial graphene science and technology.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003EThe symposium was first held in 2009 and is expected to be a\nyearly gathering. This year 130 attendees are expected. In addition to scientists\nfrom Georgia Tech, researchers from institutions such as the University of\nCalifornia, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, \u0026nbsp;the French National Center for\nScientific Research (CNRS), the German Max Planck Institute, the Japanese NTT\nlabs\u0026nbsp; and\u0026nbsp; several representatives from industry will be in attendance.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\n\n\u003Cp\u003ESo far, the substance has shown great promise in being a\nmaterial that can conduct electricity with little resistance without many of\nthe problems that carbon nanotubes have exhibited, such as difficulties with\nplacing them and building them into wires. In addition, research suggests that\nepitaxial graphene may offer much greater speed and performance over silicon.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\n\u003Cp\u003EScientists at the symposium will discuss the recent results\nof their research and will likely plan future scientific endeavors in this\nfield. \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EScientists from around the world will gather next week to\ndiscuss the latest research findings at the second International Symposium on\nthe Science and Technology of Epitaxial Graphene.
