The first and second workshops took place in January 1999, and January 2002, respectively. Collected in this volume are 20 articles, 16 from invited talks and four from contributed presentations. The speakers are from the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. During the workshop, the vivid presentations captured the audience’s attention not only with the great poten- tial of nanotechnology, but also brought out the relevant underlying science. In Prof. Supriyo Datta’s talk, a rather unique “bottom-up” view of electrical con- duction was presented which is particularly relevant to nanoscale devices. He raised several thoughtful questions on transport physics such as dissipation and entanglement that could be operative in these devices. Professor Morinobu Endo described the advanced technology of large-scale synthesis of nanostructured car- bons, with emphasis on novel applications that have already had an impact on our daily lives. His presentation impressed on us that nanotechnology applica- tions are already here, with far-reaching implications ahead. Professor Ming-Chou Lin described his group’s successful integration of silicon-based nano devices into biomolecular technology. With this integrated technology, the potential of silicon nanowires as a detector for DNA hybridization is demonstrated. Professor Vivian Yam delivered an excellent review of on her group’s recent work on functional molecular materials. Through rational design and judicious functionalization and assembly strategies, she has demonstrated that many transition-metal molecular complexes possess structure-dependent light emitting characteristics with poten- tial application as templates for the preparation of nano-sized materials. A rather unique presentation by Prof. Ping Sheng on nanoscale hydrodynamics showed that it is only recently that continuum hydrodynamics can quantitatively reproduce the nanoscale flow characteristics as simulated by molecular dynamics, and in so doing revises the traditional non-slip boundary condition. Taken together, these papers from the Third Croucher ASI gave a snapshot of the frontier research carried out over the past few years, and demonstrates that great progress has indeed been achieved both in fundamental research and in applications of nanoscience and technology. v vi Preface We would like to express our gratitude to all of the authors for their excellent contributions. Special thanks go to Ms. Helen Lai and her team for the success- ful organization of this workshop, and to the Croucher Foundation for its financial support.
