Chicago Council on Science and Technology presents “Body & Machine: Epidermal Electronics”
CHICAGO, Illinois (November 1, 2013) –From athletes to expectant mothers, sunbathers to surgeons, materials scientist John Rogers is making his mark. Or rather leaving his mark—tiny, stretchy ultra-thin mesh electronics that when adhered to the skin with a special glue are no more visible than a temporary tattoo.
Molecular modeling on computers can provide great benefits to society in a wide range of fields, such as medicine and the production and storage of renewable energy. It is a powerful tool that provides a window into the chemical world that is unparalleled in its ability to visualize the nano- and sub-nano environment.

Energy is a basic foundation of human society, like food, shelter, communication and mobility. A new international energy landscape is emerging as developing countries create their energy infrastructures and as energy technologies move away from fossil toward more sustainable sources and uses.

Professor George Crabtree of Argonne National Laboratory discusses the quest to build a better battery and America’s energy future.
On Thursday, October 24, Professor Crabtree will team up with Chicago City Council on Science and Technology to present “The Price of Doing Nothing: The World’s Energy Future.” The presentation, which will explore the future of energy, takes place at 5:00 pm in Baldwin Auditorium at Northwestern University’s Chicago Campus.
Chicago Council on Science and Technology presents:The Price of Doing Nothing: The World’s Energy Future
Energy determines the aspirations and the limitations of a society.
A vibrant global society fifty years from now requires strategic decisions regarding energy—how we will fuel our engines, power our lights and warm our homes tomorrow–be made today. Energy is a basic need of human society, like food, shelter, communication and mobility.

Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) presents “Science With A Pint: Our Curious Chemical World”
CHICAGO, Illinois (October 1, 2013) – Molecular modeling: we are not talking about ball-and-stick representations of single atoms or atomic structures, but rather the beautifully complex computer renderings of every atom in a living cell; how each atom moves within a molecule, and functions in its environment.
