Second International Conference on Applied Statistical Physics: Molecular Engineering (ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003) August 25-29, 2003 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Dear Colleagues, This is to invite you to contribute with an oral or poster presentation in the "Statistical Physics: Molecular Engineering Conference (ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003)", which will be held on August 25-29, 2003 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. The Applied Statistical Physics: Molecular Engineering Conference (ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003) will be the second international meeting of its kind. The ASTATPHYS-MEX-2001 was focused on Molecular Engineering where over 350 participants from the Americas, Europe and Asia attended. The conference proceedings were published by Molecular Physics. The ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003 Conference will focus on exciting topics of Molecular Engineering, with high level scientific content. Also, a social program with the traditional warmth and hospitality of Latin American people is being planned. The aim of the Conference is to gather applied and basic scientists interested in the design and understanding of nanostructured materials and their applications. The Conference topics will be: molecular design of catalysts and nano-catalysts, nano-tubes and fullerenes; magnetic nano-structures, nano-circuits, microlithography, supramolecular chemistry, nano-biotechnology, petroleomics; quantum engineering, electrokinetic phenomena, biological tissue reconstruction, polymers, gene-delivery, molecular self assembling, confined complex fluids, ionic channels, dynamics of confined fluids, phase transitions and other aspects of molecular engineering. What these topics have in common is the self-assembling of supramolecular species and/or molecular confinement, at micro or nano-scale level. The approach can be, for example, chemical synthesis, ATM, electronic microscopy, characterization, evaluation and prospective experiments, solid and soft condensed matter physics, quantum physics and chemistry, and equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We hope that the various Conference sessions will promote fruitful discussions among pure and applied scientists and technologists from all over the world. We all can help to identify key areas of opportunity to enhance our understanding of nano-science. The program will have both invited and contributed presentations. During the Conference, there will be a Technological Exhibition, EXPO-ASTATPHYS-MEX-2003, where state-of-the-art experimental equipment, computer software and diverse products will be exhibited. The excellent facilities of the Nh Krystal Hotel in Puerto Vallarta will offer a natural frame to all of the above activities. Please check the Conference Web Site: http://www.amim.org/astatphys2003 where submission deadlines, registration costs and all related information on this event can be found. Please If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me. Looking forward with pleasure seeing you in Puerto Vallarta in August.
