IUTAM Symposium on Modelling Nanomaterials and Nanosystems - Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held in Aalborg, Denmark, 19-22 May, 2008

To successfully design and fabricate novel nanomaterials and nanosystems, we must necessarily bridge the gap in our understanding of mechanical properties and processes at length scales ranging from 100 nanometers (where atomistic simulations are currently possible) to a micron (where continuum mechanics is experimentally validated).
