Science / Technology - Colloquium
Monday, April 10, 2006
4:00 PM-5:00 PM
Olin Hall
Olin Hall 107
Advanced materials, utilizing nanostructures to provide new materials properties and opportunities for the independent control of materials structures and properties, offer new promise for addressing some of the grand energy challenges facing our future. This talk will review opportunities opened up at the nanoscale, with materials of reduced dimensionality and enhanced surface-to-volume ratio. Some examples of research accomplishments and opportunities at the nanoscale will be described, with special attention given to the potential of advanced materials and nanoscience to have an impact on addressing grand challenges related to a sustainable energy supply for the 21st century and beyond.
