1 3 rd Nano-Science Center Winter School 29/1 4/2 2008, Maria Alm, Austria Motivation: Following the last years tremendous success we welcome you to the 3 rd annual Nano-Science Winter School. The winter schools have succeeded in generating an environment of collaboration and solidarity within the center; sprouting friendships and scientific achievement over group boundaries. The previous year s winter schools have been focused on introducing the research focus of the different research groups in the center, creating a common language and understanding; this year will be different. In two workshop sessions we will use our joined efforts to startup the new EU-project: SINGLE and to meet the challenges at hand in project throughout the Nano-Science Center. For the plenary lectures external speakers have been invited to inspire our work and bring in an expertise we do not usually have available in our research. Keynote lectures: Thomas Tschentscher Dynamic processes studied by X-Ray scattering Herre van der Zant Electron transport in nanosystems Lise Arleth Scattering in nanoscience Rikke Bøyesen Recruitment of nanoscience students Workshops: Center for Molecular Movies: The structure of materials is an important key to understanding the relationship between synthesis and processing of the materials and their functionalities. However, the functionality of materials often involve that they - at least briefly - change the local arrangement of their constituent atoms and molecules, and hence their structure. In this workshop we will review the present status of the techniques and methods for investigating transient structures of materials in the Centre, as well as discuss new ideas for photo- and electrically excitable materials. We will have tutorials on predicting Structure-Property relationships, Photochemistry, Crystallography, and methods for data analysis followed by discussion of their applications. In the last part of the workshop, we will form working groups with the goal to provide the springboards for the next generation of research projects in. SINGLE: This purpose of this workshop is to start up the EU collaborative project SINGLE; a study of the single molecules and single molecule/electrode interfaces. The workshop will be attended by all the collaborators from the SINGLE project, giving a broad scope on a single topic. In the workshop practical issues will touched briefly, but the main focus is the science of single molecules in two or three terminal devices.

2 NanoWires: The workshop will cover two main projects resulting from strong collaborations between the BioNano laboratory and the group on Nanoscale Quantum Electronics: (1) Interfacing nanorods and mammalian cells for monitoring cellular events and (2) development of label free biosensors using Nanowire-Field Effect Transistors (Bio-FET). Single Enzymes: Single enzymes experiments are the only way to precisely quantify the catalytic behavior of the enzymes. Aspects such as time dependent activity fluctuations, otherwise masked in ensemble average measurements, have been successfully resolved by these experiments. In this session a variety of methods utilized for measuring the real time kinetics of single hydrolytic enzymes are discussed. As demonstrated enzymes can adopt a variety of inter-converting conformations each one of them exhibiting different activity. The effect of the microenvironment on their oscillating behavior is in depth studied and models are proposed successfully interpreting the results.
