A workshop that brings together experts in novel scattering techniques that yield structural information about nanometer length-scale structures in materials, with people who are at the forefront of making novel nanostructured materials. Techniques include diffraction and imaging methods using advanced x-ray, neutron and electron sources.

The small number of participants and relaxed setting will facilitate in-depth discussions between the participants. Graduate students and other pre-professional researchers are encouraged to apply, and some funds will be made available in the form of travel bursaries. See the travel section for details.

The meeting is co-sponsored by Michigan State University and the NSF-funded Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team (NIRT) on Structure of Nanocrystals that involves investigators from Michigan State, Penn State, Central Michigan and Arizona State Universities.
