With all NT06 abstracts now on-line and searchable at http://endomoribu.shinshu-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/nt06/abst_search.cgi, there is no need to wait for the real event to start scientific discussions.

NT06 On-Line Discussion Forum

• To facilitate discussion, each submitted abstract has been assigned a thread in the on-line discussion forum at http://endomoribu.shinshu-u.ac.jp/nt06/forum/forum.php. That means -- you can post comments and ask questions about each contribution. You may enjoy especially the SEARCH FUNCTION and different display formats.
• The Forum has been arranged by the sorting categories, and has additional sub-fora for "Travel", "Accommodation", and "General Discussion".
• Experience the value of performing a scientific discussion not one-on-one, in person or by email, but sharing your ideas/concerns with the community. This is valuable even if you are unable to attend the conference.
• In case you forgot your password, you can request it by clicking on "Password reminder" at http://endomoribu.shinshu-u.ac.jp/cgi-bin/nt06/user_regist.cgi. Your user name is your first name, followed by a space, then your last name, using the same case (uppercase/lowercase) you used to enter this information. (Your user name is also used in your abstract, in case you no longer remember.)

NT06 Contributed Talks

• In the NT06 program ( http://nanotube.msu.edu/nt06/NT06program.pdf) you will find 8 open slots for 20+5 minute-long contributed talks.
• The 8 speakers will be selected from the contributions submitted to NT06 ("poster contributions"). The speakers have not been selected yet; we wish to select the "hottest"/"most popular" topics/ contributions for oral presentations.
• What is hot/popular? In this selection, we will be guided by what happens in the NT06 ON-LINE DISCUSSION FORUM -- please use it. Topics/contributions enjoying lots of discussion or involved in a controversy are more likely to be selected for oral contributions. (Of course, the oral presentation will accompany, not replace, the poster presentation).
• We intend to make our selection of contributed talks about 10 days before the conference and will alert the presenters by email.
