Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) and related frequency-conversion nanomaterials find themselves at the intersection of many of today’s most important and demanding research areas including deep-tissue bio-imaging, sensing, and theranostics; solar light harvesting; neuroscience and optogenetics; nanoscale thermometry; and quantum communication. The rapidly emerging insights into fundamental – and tunable – upconverting nanomaterials properties together with fast-growing application spaces provides an exciting opportunity for the scientific exchange of unpublished data and provocative ideas that will ultimately maximize impact in the biomedical, information technology, and energy sectors. The 2023 GRC on Upconverting Nanoparticles brings together biologists, materials scientists, chemists, physicists, engineers, and theory and computational experts. It will accelerate progress and address the core challenges in this far-reaching research area, uniting world-renowned senior and junior experts. Participants will experience cutting-edge and thought-provoking invited lectures and engage in extensive scientific discussions and interaction with researchers, students, and postdoctoral fellows. Each lecture will be followed by ample time for lively discussion and question-and-answer sessions among invited speakers, discussion leaders, and all participants.
