| Description: The Alivisatos Group is a research group at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Theirwork is in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, studying materials with sizes on the order of one billionth of a meter (one nanometer). When material dimensions reach the nanometer scale, quantum mechanical and thermodynamic properties that are insignificant in larger, everyday materials dominate, causing these nanomaterials to display new and interesting properties. Research conducted by Dr. Alivisatos seeks to understand these properties and exploit them for technological applications. His presentation will focus on recent advances in nanotechnology with a focus on biomedical applications | ||||||||
