Joint iNANO and General Physics Colloquium

Speaker: Professor of Physics and Material Science and Engineering Leonard C. Feldman, Rutgers University, Institute for Advanced Materials, Devices and Nanotechnology and Vanderbilt University, Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering

Title: The Materials Revolution

Time: Tuesday 9 March 2010, at 3:15 p.m. Coffee/tea and cake will be served at 3 p.m.

Location: Auditorium 3rd floor, Dept. of Physics

Abstract: Modern materials research includes engineering with atoms, the molecule-by-molecule attack of a cancer growth, collecting the sun's energy with nanocrystals, exploiting the quantum world for computing, defining a stem cell by mechanical deformation and bringing the quantum world to the human experience in an ultra-small solid. Extraordinary accomplishments range from Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics to society-changing applications. Currently, the forefront of materials science is at the nano-scale. Advances in nano-scale materials are envisioned as contributing to the solution to some of the dominant technological problems facing our world—conservation of energy and environment, water purification and propagating the information revolution. This talk highlights research directed to these advances. Such endeavors invariably require an interdisciplinary approach. The discussion will include issues associated with the organization of such research on the University campus.
