Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Hope everything goes well with you during this difficult time of COVID-19.
During the past two years, we have witnessed a strenuous global battle against this unprecedented pandemic. We are sorry that by now the situation is still unclear for an in-person conference to be held in Shanghai, China in the year of 2023, due to strict international travel restrictions.
After discussing with the conference committee seriously, we are very sorry to let you know that the NanoRad 2023 conference (originally known as NanoRad 2020) would be canceled. The next conference will be held in Japan in the year of 2024, which will be organized by Prof. Koji Miyazaki and colleagues. After that, the NanoRad Conference and Workshop will be back in Shanghai in 2027.
Since it has been quite a while, we are sorry that all submitted abstracts will not be kept for NanoRad 2024. We sincerely hope you could still contribute and submit your latest works to NanoRad 2024 and later to NanoRad 2027.
We really appreciate your consistent support.
Best regards,
Conference Chairs
Changying Zhao, Sheng Shen and Mauro Antezza
In the past three decades, the study on nano/microscale thermal radiation has made great progress with the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, and received significant attention due to its potential application to thermal imaging, energy harvesting, nanomanufacturing, heat flow regulation and local heating below the diffraction limit. Also, by understanding the mechanism of nano-microscale thermal radiation, the performance of various devices can benefit from the modification of reflection, transmission, absorption and emission spectra using micro / nanostructures.
The International Workshop on Nano-Micro Thermal Radiation (NanoRad) has provided an opportunity for leading scientists and young researchers around the world to discuss and exchange the research ideas, recent findings and discoveries, and future outlooks in the field of nano-radiation. Following the First International Workshop held in May 2012 in Matsushima, Japan, NanoRad has been held subsequently in 2014 in Shanghai, China and 2017 in Daejeon, South Korea. The fourth International Workshop on Nano-Micro Thermal Radiation (NanoRad 2020) will be held on June 22-24, 2020, in Shanghai, China. There will also be a short course on Nano-Microscale Thermal Radiation to convey the fundamentals, applications and trends in this field on June 20-22, 2020.
