Join us at our Lucas Heights campus this month as one of Australia's leading experts in nanotechnology shares his thoughts on a science that's set to change the world as we know it.
A technological renaissance has been taking place as the world embraces game-breaking nanotechnology.
'Nanotech', which is functional systems engineered at the molecular level, are offering new-world ways to tackle age-old problems with the potential to impact nationally significant issues as diverse as health, water and energy.
It applications vary having a particularly profound impact in electronics, computers, communications, defence, energy, biomedical, transport and manufacturing.
One of the new technologies on the block is nanowires that are considered building blocks for the next generation electronics and optoelectronics.
To discuss the importance of nanowires in redefining the technological landscape, Australian Laureate Fellow Professor Chennupati Jagadish (Secretary Physical Sciences of the Australian Academy of Sciences) will be visiting the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) at Lucas Heights as part of our Distinguished Lecture series this month.
Professor Jagadish's talk will introduce the importance of nanowires and their potential applications
Our Distinguished Lecture series is a monthly talk by leaders of industry, science and research from Australia and overseas.
The lectures run for an hour and are free to the public.
