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.

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.
