  • Professor Martyn Poliakoff (Closing) – University of Nottingham
  • Dr Mathias Brust – University of Liverpool
  • Professor Charlie Campbell – Universityof Washington
  • Professor Cynthia Friend – Harvard University
  • Professor Wayne Goodman – Texas A&M University
  • Professor Peijun Hu – Queen’s University Belfast
  • Professor Laura Prati – Universita degli Studi di Milano
  • Professor Pekka Pyykko – University of Helsinki
  • Professor Vincent Rotello -Universityof Massachusetts Amherst

Themes:

  • Gold catalysis at the gas solid interface
  • Gold catalysis and materials science
  • Theoretical insights on gold catalysis
  • Gold catalysis and enhanced selectivity

Analysis for Healthcare Diagnostics and Theranostics conference

FD149Faraday Discussion 149: Analysis for Healthcare Diagnostics and Theranostics
6 – 8 September 2010
University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Last chance to register!

The need in healthcare to detect biomolecular species such as proteins, oligonucleotides (DNA and RNA) and cells for diagnostics is driving the current development of physical techniques.

Themes of this meeting include:

  • Systems/Devices to Inform Therapy (SDIT)
  • Physical Techniques for Diagnostics (PTD)
  • High-Throughput Measurement and Analysis (HTMA)
  • Towards Real-time Clinical Measurement (TRCM)


For further information about about this meeting and to register, please visit the website.

Faraday Discussion 149 is organised by the Faraday Division in association with the Analytical Division.

Wetting Dynamics – FD146 now published

Faraday Discussions 146 now published online – view it here.

This exciting volume is on the topic of Wetting Dynamics of Hydrophobic and Structured Surfaces and focuses on a number of highly topical and controversial issues related to wetting and dewetting at hydrophobic surfaces.

wetting dynamicsThe discussion includes many exciting contributions on this dynmaic topic including an Introductory lecture Exploring nanoscale hydrophobic hydration by Peter J Rossky and Closing remarks given by Frank H Stillinger.

In this volume the topics covered include:

  • Superhydrophobic Surfaces
  • Dynamic Transitions
  • Liquid-vapour Interfaces and Nanobubbles
  • Heterogeneous Surfaces
