The Technology, Engineering and Innovation (TEI) Series offers events that showcase the latest innovations and technology based research at both start-ups and large scale operations, by scientists and engineers.
Previous TEI events have covered high speed rail, nanotechnology, robots, tech incubators, machine learning, and medical imaging.
Distinguished speakers have included Adam Khan, CEO and founder of Akhan Semiconductors; Miles Wernick, Ph.D., Motorola Endowed Chair Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Director of the Medical Imaging Research Center, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT); and Amanda K. Petford-Long, Ph.D., Director for the Nanoscience and Technology Division and Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials.
Join C2ST and cosmologist, Dr. Chihway Chang for a presentation on this mysterious force. Together we will seek to answer questions such as:
In the fifth lecture presented by C2ST and Argonne National Laboratory, Dr. David Czaplewski will share the history of nanotechnology and delve into his research in creating mechanical, optical, and physical systems at the nanoscale.

Battery technology is commonplace. Batteries power our cars, our cell phones, and our watches. They power the tools and devices we use in our home and in some cases, they power the home itself! As individuals, organizations, and nations attempt to build a better future, we need new batteries. Continue reading “Celebrating 75 years at Argonne National Laboratory: Batteries of Tomorrow”
1946 was an important year across the globe–the United Nations held its first meeting, Tupperware was introduced to consumers, and Argonne National Laboratory was founded with the mission of harnessing nuclear reactions for peaceful energy purposes. In the 75 years since, Argonne has been at the forefront of cutting-edge innovation and impact, and has grown into one of the country’s largest science laboratories. C2ST and Argonne National Laboratory are excited to kick off a 75th anniversary celebration partnership that will highlight Argonne’s numerous accomplishments and give an in-depth look into some of the five user facilities, which feature an extraordinary range of cutting-edge scientific tools that support in-depth research, drive technological breakthroughs, improve U.S. competitiveness and quality of life and are used by researchers from around the world!
