MATSUS Fall 2025: The Materials for Sustainable Development Conference

Description

B1 Emergent Properties in Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Phenomena, and Applications - #EmergentNano

There is a growing interest in understanding emergent properties in nanomaterials and ways to engineer them for use in technology. The complexity of novel materials grows as chemistry and physics advance to address materials discovery and UN sustainable goals. This involves multicomponent and hierarchical structures, combining dissimilar components. Examples include but are not limited to nanocrystal assemblies, hybrid organic-inorganic materials, and high-entropy compounds.

In such cases, the properties and performance of a nanomaterial exceed the sum of its parts and give rise to emergent properties. These phenomena include cooperative light-matter interactions (e.g., superfluorescence and plasmonic resonances), enhanced electronic transport, chirality transfer, heat transfer, and phononics. The #EmergentNANO symposium brings together leading early-career and established scientists exploring the synthesis, structure, and applications of materials with emergent properties.
