Nanotechnology: Tiny Science with a Big Impact - Livestream

Did you know that October 9th was National Nano Day? To celebrate the exploration of this miniscule world that holds immense potential for our future, this month’s Midday Science Cafe delves into the fascinating realm of nanoscience, where matter is studied at the mind-boggling nanoscale, a dimension one thousand times smaller than a human hair’s width. First, we’ll hear from Dr. Grigory Tikhomirov, who is developing a new nanotechnology based on molecular programming with DNA by combining the strengths of traditional engineering and bottom-up biomolecular assembly. Next, we’ll hear from Dr. Emma Vargo, who is designing self-assembling composite packaging materials that can be used, and then disassembled and reassembled without extra processing steps, making recycling much easier.
