From tennis rackets to sunscreen, from stained glass windows to computer memory, the applications of nanoscale materials research are all around us. New television displays, cell phones and other digital devices incorporate nanostructured polymer films known as light-emitting diodes, or OLEDs. Continue reading “The Nature of Nano 2”
Beverage cans. Jet Engines. Silicon semiconductors. All of these inventions have crystallography, the study of ordered structures, to thank. 100 years ago, the process of X-ray crystallography was discovered, allowing the atomic order of many materials to be determined. Continue reading “The Order of Crystallography”

This is C2ST’s rescheduled event. Our originally scheduled presentation with the FBI was cancelled 10/16/13 due to the partial Federal government shutdown
The cyber world can sometimes be a very dangerous place to live; from personal identity fraud to state sponsored government attacks, the threat through America’s online networks to our security, safety and economy is more real than ever before. Continue reading “Every Click Leaves a Clue: The Technology & Tactics of the FBI Cyber Crime Division”
Biology is soft, curvilinear and transient; modern silicon technology is rigid, planar and everlasting. Electronic systems that eliminate this profound mismatch in properties will lead to new types of devices, capable of integrating non-invasively with the body, providing function over some useful period of time, and then dissolving into surrounding biofluids.
