*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Registration is open for the Workshop on Chemical & Nanoscale Imaging to be held at Georgia Tech on Tuesday January 31st. All Georgia Tech faculty are invited to attend this event. We also wish to make this event open to students and postdoctoral researchers who may have a special interest in this topic and in Oak Ridge National Lab, and encourage faculty to share this invitation with their group members. Please use the link below to register.
The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) (https://www.ornl.gov/facility/cnms) integrates research expertise and capabilities in the following areas: imaging, microscopy, and nanoscale characterization; theory modeling, and simulation; synthesis and fabrication including for soft matter; functional characterization of nanomaterials. Operating as a national user facility, the CNMS supports a multidisciplinary environment for research to understand nanoscale materials and phenomena. Users join a vibrant research community that brings together ORNL research staff, technical support staff, students, postdoctoral fellows, and collaborating guest scientists, accommodating both short-term and long-term collaborative research partners.
We cordially invite you to the “Georgia Tech-Oak Ridge National Lab Workshop on Chemical & Nanoscale Imaging”. The workshop will be held at Georgia Tech on January 31, 2017 in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building, Room 1117/1118, 9:00am to 4:00pm. The purpose of the workshop is to establish stronger links between the ORNL Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences and researchers at Georgia Tech. Participants are welcome to attend part or all of the day and lunch will be provided. Each session will have presentations from both ORNL and Georgia Tech researchers followed by open discussions. There will be opportunities for networking over lunch as well as discussions on graduate training opportunities at ORNL. The expected long term outcome of the workshop is new experiments and collaborative projects between Georgia Tech and Oak Ridge researchers.
