Nanomaterials are extremely small objects (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter!). Synchrotrons are complex, giant machines, often covering an area the size of a football field. Frequently, however, these two worlds collide in an effort to understand the unusual properties that nanomaterials exhibit over their “bulk” counterparts. Dr. Ward will share stories of scientific collaboration—how scientists work together in order to apply Big Science to tackle Small Problems.
With Dr. Matthew Ward, a post-doc at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS)
This program is part of NanoDays (3/22) in collaboration with the Sciencenter. Explore nanoscale science and technology with 30+ hands-on activities, family-friendly presentations, and the Nano exhibition. Plus, admission to the Sciencenter is free all day for NanoDays! View schedule.
