Overview

The Gotham-Metro Condensed Matter Meeting is a rare opportunity for New York area scientists interested in materials science, soft condensed matter, or hard condensed matter to initiate collaborations across the broad spectrum of fields covered at the conference. At the 7th Gotham-Metro symposium, held on April 20, 2012, those fields traversed everything from colloidal systems of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to quantum effects in frustrated magnets. Two leading faculty gave keynote presentations on soft and hard condensed matter, respectively, and six students had the chance to present their cutting-edge work to an audience of students and career scientists from industry and academia. The symposium closed with a lively discussion of the Hendrik Schön affair of fraudulent science, led by two scientists who helped break the scandal and reveal the truth.
