  BESAC Website 

The report, to be released in Fall 2012, will identify the most promising research opportunities in two areas:

• New mesoscale materials, phenomena and functionality; and,
  
• Facilities, instruments and tools needed to make, characterize and describe mesoscale materials, phenomena and functionality

Program:

• Introduction to Mesoscale Science
  John Sarrao, Los Alamos National Laboratory
  George Crabtree, Argonne National Laboratory
  
• Community Input

Participating in the Town Hall
You may contribute to the Town Hall through oral comments or by completing and uploading a Priority Research Direction quad chart through the Meso website. If you upload a Priority Research Direction quad chart in advance, it can be projected at the Town Hall to illustrate your oral comments.
