Venue.

The SOMET 2024 will be held in the Regional Development and Liaison Center (CVDR) of the National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico (IPN), located on Boulevard Kukulkan Km 12.5, Torre A Zona Hotelera 77500 Cancún Q. R. Mexico.

Cancún City

Cancún is a world-class resort in Mexico on the Caribbean coastline, with many outstanding stretches of white sandy beaches, world-class restaurants, attractions, accommodation, and shopping complexes. Many of the tourist attractions in general are based around the Zona Hotelera (the Hotel Zone), which is connected to Cancún by the four-lane Kukulcán Boulevard, a major thoroughfare. There are a lot of beaches (playas) in Cancún, with some of the best including Ballenas, Caracol, Delfines, Langosta, Las Perlas, Linda, Marlin, and Tortugas; there are also plenty more nearby, on the scenic coastline of the Isla Mujeres.

Being a major coastal resort with a superb selection of beaches, it will come as no surprise that many of the main tourist attractions are based around Cancún's beautiful coastline. All kinds of water sports are available here, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, jet skiing, and even parasailing, high in the air, where the views across Cancún and the Caribbean Sea are simply awe-inspiring. Sailing, yachting, and dolphin-spotting cruises are also extremely popular in Cancún, and it is possible to swim with dolphins at the nearby Isla Mujeres.

Cancún also has a strong and important Mayan past, with two main sites of Mayan remains. Centro Ceremonial Kohunlich is of great historical significance and features an ancient Mayan Sun Temple. Chichén Itzá, with the famous El Castillo (the Temple of Kukulcan) at its centre, and the ruins of the 13th-century Zona Arqueológica El Rey (El Rey Archaeological Zone), are also located close to Cancún, which are best explored on a guided tour. For art lovers, Cancún also offers plenty of reputable galleries around the city, including a number along the Kukulcán Boulevard.

Cancún can be reached via daily direct flights from several US cities, as well as direct flights from the following 20 European cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Birmingham, Bristol, Brussels, Doncaster, Edinburgh, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Lisbon, London, Munich, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Newcastle, Paris, Rome, and Zürich. Cancun can also be reached from most Asian capitals via a connecting flight in the USA.

Some general information about Cancún follows below:

• Country: Mexico (east).
• Location: Quintana Roo (QR).
• Status: coastal city.
• Population: approximately 520,000.
• Language: Mexican Spanish.
• Currency: Peso (MXN).
• Time zone: UTC/GMT -5 hours (Eastern Standard Time).
• Country dialing code: +52.
• Telephone area code: 998.
• Religion: mainly Roman Catholic, with a small number of Protestants.

Sensor systems exhibit extraordinary sensitivity for detecting physical, chemical, and biological entities at the micro/nanoscale. The detection and analysis of molecules on miniature devices that have many possible applications in health, environment, analysis, and security is particularly exciting. A new class of label-free micro and nanosensors is starting to emerge allowing us to observe dynamic processes at the single molecule level directly, with unprecedented spatial- and temporal resolution and without significantly affecting the natural and functional movements of the molecules. Micro- and nanosensors by virtue of their small interaction length probe molecules over a dynamic range often inaccessible by other techniques. Their small size enables an exceedingly high sensitivity, and the application of quantum optical measurement techniques can allow us to approach or surpass classical limits of detection. Advances in optical and electrical measurement methodology, laser interferometry, quantum optics, micro/nanofluidics, control of molecules and reactions at the nanoscale, DNA origami/synthetic molecular machines, in-vivo and wearable sensing materials, all contribute to the rapid progress of the field of Single Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems. It is this convergence of previously often disparate fields that is accelerating the advancements in micro and nano-sensing.

This conference will bring together researchers in the rapidly advancing field of Single Molecule Sensors and nanoSystems on October 28-30, 2024 in Paris. The conference focuses on the most recent advances in micro and nano-sensing techniques that have either demonstrated single-molecule detection or that can advance or contribute towards single-molecule detection capability on sensor chips in the longer term.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Single-molecule spectroscopy, imaging, and forces;
• Micro/nanofluidics/chemical control at the nanoscale;
• Molecular machines, synthetic biology, and DNA origami;
• Single-molecule sensors and sequencers;
• Molecular electronics;
• From quantum sensing to quantum biology;
• Nanothermodynamics in experiments and theory;
• Computational approaches.
