MSE Brumley Pritchett Lecture Series

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

ABSTRACT:

Nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field focused on studying and manipulating ultraminiaturized structures, ones with at least one dimension 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. This field has the potential to transform almost every aspect of our lives for the better – from enabling our cell phones and computers to run faster to generating our power more efficiently to making our tennis racquets and golf clubs lighter and more durable. How can such small materials lead to such big advances? Come and discover all of the amazing size, shape and composition-dependent properties of nanomaterials that are changing the way we see the world on a length scale that can’t even be observed with the naked eye.
