Single-Molecule Sensors and NanoSystems International Conference – S3IC 2020
Sensor systems have emerged that exhibit extraordinary sensitivity for detecting physical, chemical, and biological entities at the micro/nanoscale. Particularly exciting is the detection and analysis of molecules on miniature devices that have many possible applications in health, environment, analysis, and security. A new class of label-free micro and nanosensors are starting to emerge that allow us to observe dynamic processes at the single molecule level directly, with unprecedented spatial- and temporal resolution and without significantly affecting the natural and functional movements of the molecules. Micro- and nanosensors by virtue of their small interaction length probe molecules over a dynamic range often inaccessible by other techniques. Their small size enables an exceedingly high sensitivity, and the application of quantum optical measurement techniques can allow us to approach or surpass classical limits of detection. Advances in optical and electrical measurement methodology, laser interferometry, quantum optics, micro/nanofluidics, control of molecules and reactions at the nanoscale, DNA origami/synthetic molecular machines, in-vivo and wearable sensing materials, they all contribute to the rapid progress of the field of Single Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems. It is this convergence of previously often disparate fields that is accelerating the advancements in micro and nano-sensing.
This conference will bring together researchers in the rapidly advancing field of Single Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems on November 9-11, 2020 in Barcelona. The conference focusses on the most recent advances in micro and nano-sensing techniques that have either demonstrated single-molecule detection or that claim single-molecule detection capability on sensor chips in the longer term.
ANNOUNCEMENT
After careful consideration, the Chairs and the Organizing Committee have decided to transform S3IC 2020 into an online conference. Indeed, travel restrictions and pandemic progress are creating too much uncertainty regarding the organization of in-person conferences. In addition, many of you have contacted us to inform that they prefer the alternative of the online meeting instead of a cancellation. This will not replace the in-person conference but it allows the community to maintain a link. Moreover, this conference will be eco-friendly and cheaper since everyone can participate from home.
We would like this edition to be interactive with AV discussions over the talks and full of opportunities to network. Providing you with a smooth meeting technically speaking is also one of our main priorities.
Please note that the committee has experience with organizing interactive online conferences. We have designed an intuitive dashboard representing the conference lobby and where you can access to each room with a single click. A welcome desk will be available every day with a staff member that you can talk with and each participant can ask for a technical test prior to the event by sending an email to s3ic2020@premc.org. You will have access to the participant’s list before the conference via a networking app and several activities will be available during the breaks to facilitate the networking between participants, there will be also rooms dedicated to the speakers in order to extend the Q&A and others dedicated to open positions opportunities to encourage the creation of new collaborations. All live speakers will be contacted by the committee at least one week before the conference in order to run a quick technical test.
