  8. Dr. Jeff Meth Seminar

    Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites Extending the size range of fillers for composite materials down to the nanoscale has the potential to produce unique properties and property combinations that can be of value to society.  Understanding how to create nanocomposites with specified local structure, and measuring the resulting properties, is critical for achieving this goal.  This talk will describe our efforts to create nanocomposites with well-dispersed nanoparticles, and the...

  9. NEEDS Seminar featuring Prof. Peide Ye

    Green Light on Germanium Peide (Peter) Ye School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University   Abstract: This is the second is a series of talks addressing “Device Options and Trade-offs for 5 nm CMOS technology. With continuous device down-scaling as predicted and required by Moore's law, silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been pushed down to 10 nm, approaching its physical limitations. For further developments, novel...

  10. Discovery Lecture Series featuring Paul Nunes

    Big Bang Disruption: Strategy in the Age of Devastating Innovation It used to take years or even decades for disruptive innovations to dethrone dominant products and services. But now, before business leaders even grasp what’s happening, enterprises from Blockbuster to Blackberry can be devastated virtually overnight by new products that are simultaneously better and cheaper right from the start, often launched by startups with virtually no capital or infrastructure. Never mind the...

  16. Integrated Imaging Seminar featuring Prof. Amanda Petford-Long

    Integrated Imaging: the Sum is Greater than the Parts Most natural and manufactured materials are spatially complex and heterogeneous, and their performance is typically linked to this heterogeneity. Bulk analysis methods ignore these realities, but imaging and microscopy offer a way to see the real material in all of its complexity and explore its local behavior. When combined with spectroscopy, diffraction, or other analytical methods they allow one to understand what one sees. One can...
