Call for Abstracts

  • Opening day
  • Submission deadline

Abstract Deadline: Thursday, June 24, 2021
All Virtual Presentations will be pre-recorded

Virtual Poster Session: Students, postdocs, and CNMS/HFIR/SNS users are encouraged to participate in the Virtual Poster Session at the 2021 Joint Nanoscience and Neutron Scattering User Meeting. Each participant will have up to five minutes and the use of up to four slides to highlight their research. Poster sessions presented by graduate, undergraduate, and high school students will also be eligible to compete for the Best Student Presentation award given during the CNMS User Executive Committee and SHUG town hall meetings. The top 8 students will be selected by the CNMS User Executive Committee and the SNS-HFIR User Group (4 students for nanoscience, 4 students for neutron scattering). These students will have the chance to present their work in an 8-minute talk between 11:40 am - 1:00 pm EST on Tuesday, August 10 at the virtual Joint Nanoscience and Neutron Scattering User Meeting (selected students will be notified by July 30).

All participants will be expected to 1) submit an abstract describing their research, 2) pre-record the audio of their presentation, and 3) submit their slide/audio by July 24. Pre-recorded presentations will only be viewable in the meeting App (Whova) to those who register for the User Meeting. Participants will receive an email with more information by July 9.

Abstracts may be prepared as PDF or MS Word files and uploaded using the online abstract submission form. Abstracts must not exceed one page in length including title, author name(s) and affiliation(s), and figures; with one-inch margins and minimum 11-pt font size. (Abstract_Sample)

Track Session Topics – Select the subject area on the abstract form that best describes your poster research area:

  • Hard Materials
    This session will broadly highlight state-of-the-art nanoscience and/or neutron scattering research in hard materials, from precision synthesis to atomic-scale characterization to novel device applications and beyond.
  • Soft Materials
    This session will broadly highlight state-of-the-art nanoscience and/or neutron scattering research in soft materials, from controlling interactions of biological matter and living systems to structural characterization of soft matter to emerging devices and beyond.
  • Data-Enabled Science
    This session brings together some of the nation's most prominent scholars in data-enabled science, highlighting some of the emerging concepts relevant to practical implementations of machine learning and/or theoretical methods in nanoscience and/or neutron scattering research.
  • Emerging Research in Nanoscience and/or Neutron Scattering
    This session brings together some of the nation's leading early career professionals, from postdocs to junior faculty, and will highlight emerging research in nanoscience and/or neutron scattering.
  • Additional Topics in Nanoscience and/or Neutron Scattering

The deadline for abstract submission is June 24. Submitting authors will be notified of acceptance by July 9.
