Do you care about the future of solar power development? Are you curious about the potential applications of structural DNA nanotechnology? Want to know more about gas flow and pump technology?

These topics and scores of others of interest to the vacuum science community are part of the agenda for the 52nd International Symposium of AVS, the Science and Technology Society. This year the five-day annual meeting, which includes an awards ceremony, is slated for Sunday, 30 October, through Friday, 4 November, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston.

“The Crossbar Architecture for Nanoelectronics” is the topic of this year’s plenary symposium lecture by R. Stanley Williams, an H-P senior fellow at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California. Williams’s talk, at noon Monday in Ballroom A of the convention center, will focus on the “crossbar latch,” a promising nanometer-scale alternative to the transistor. The symposium schedule also includes dozens of...
