Chemical Nanomotors
ACS Fall 2024
Global Virtual Symposium
Chemical Nanomotors – Frontiers and Opportunities
Colloid & Surface Chemistry Division
Join us in commemorating two decades of groundbreaking innovation since the debut of "Catalytic Nanomotors" in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) in 2004.
This symposium focuses on chemically powered nanomotors, highlighting their collective behaviors, intricate taxis, and limitless prospective applications. Its multidisciplinary topic is at the convergence of chemistry, physics, and material sciences and will foster collaboration between experimentalists and theoreticians, as it explores electrokinetics, colloidal taxis, and active matter.
Call for Abstracts: We invite early career researchers and research scholars to submit an abstract and present their work in a flash talk.
Symposium Features
Present your research in your local time zone
Inviting all early career chemists from diverse regions such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania to deliver flash presentations.
Get exposure and recognition
As a presenter, you will receive a certificate of participation at ACS Meetings.
Abstracts will be listed in the CAS database and can be added to your Google Scholar profile.
Symposium schedule
Symposium will feature multiple sessions from August 18-22.
Sessions will be programmed at convenient daytimes of multiple regions such as Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania; however, for the Americas, these sessions will be at early mornings and late nights.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is April 1, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
Abstracts should be 2500 characters or less and include the title, author(s), and a concise description of your research.
-
Can I include images or figures in my abstract?
Yes, limited use of images or figures is permitted to enhance your abstract's content.
-
When will I know if my abstract is accepted?
Presenters can expect to receive their acceptance notices approximately 3 months before the meeting. Scheduling notices are sent periodically starting approximately 2 months before the meeting.
-
What if I can't attend the symposium on the scheduled date?
While attending is encouraged, if you can't participate in real time, you can still submit an abstract for inclusion. In case the abstract is accepted, you can share a recorded version of flash talk.
-
Do I need to register separately if my abstract is accepted?
Yes, accepted presenters will have to register for ACS Fall 2024. Symposium organizers will reach out to confirm their participation.
