This interdisciplinary conference draws on the best of several topical fields -- simple liquids, complex liquids, biomolecular fluids, polymers, colloids. In all of these areas, this conference is at the frontiers of knowledge. It spans from the traditional strengths of this conference, to energy and other ramifications of this subject. The speakers have been chosen to be excellent in presentation and provocative in substance.
The Gordon Conference on Liquids has a long history of excellence. The Chairmanship alternates between theoreticians and experimentalists, and this year the job falls to an experimentalist. The evolution of this conference has brought it to the present point where it aims to combine the best of simple molecular liquids with more complex behavior in the field of soft matter. The conference this year will emphasize the freshest topics from the viewpoints of theory, experiment, and computer simulation. This conference aims to cross-fertilize between different communities and to resist their balkanization.
The breadth and depth of the detailed program listed below speaks for itself. In addition, this conference enjoys excellent attendance from diverse communities not just because it is the best topical conference for the physical chemistry of liquids but also because of its additional broader scope - for example, regarding polymers, colloids, and energy. The participants will come together intellectually and socially, and spend an enjoyable week together.
On the final day we will have a session in which the best posters are presented orally. Prizes will be given for the most outstanding posters, especially those presented by graduate students and postdocs.
