The 10th International Symposium on Clusters and Nanomaterials (ISCAN) will be held in the historic Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va., November 3–7. This symposium is a continuation of the quadrennial Richmond Conference series, which started in 1982. The conference will focus on the structure–property relationships of clusters and nanomaterials, with a focus on their role in solving outstanding problems in energy and medicine—two of the most important challenges facing science and society.

The topics of this symposium include clean and sustainable energy and storage (solar, hydrogen, thermoelectric for energy, and batteries for storage); bioactive, bio-responsive, and biomimetic materials; nanotoxicity; diagnostic and therapeutic devices; bioengineering; and regenerative medicine.

In addition to 14 plenary sessions of invited talks by leading experts and two poster sessions, the symposium will include oral presentations on several hot topics. The symposium will also feature a special memorial session to honor the lives of Millie Dresselhaus, Will Castleman, Walter Kohn, and John Yates, who were associated with this series for many years.

The abstract submission deadline is August 16, and early registration is due August 30. Additional information can be found at iscan.vcu.edu.
