两性色午夜 University鈥檚 Liquid Crystal Institute庐 will host a symposium called 鈥淐hirality at the Nanoscale鈥 on June 4-5 in the Kent Student Center on the Kent Campus.
鈥淭his event features internationally renowned scientists presenting cutting-edge research on one of the key central topics of life, biology, physical as well as materials science, and engineering: chirality,鈥 said symposium chairman Torsten Hegmann, Ph.D., Ohio Research Scholar and associate professor at 两性色午夜鈥檚 Liquid Crystal Institute. 鈥淭he focus of this symposium is the chirality of nanoscale materials and soft matter, and we are delighted to welcome world-leading chemists, physicists and mathematicians that have made remarkable contributions to this field.鈥
This symposium brings together researchers from two fields that explore the unique optical activity (chirality) of metal and semiconductor nanomaterials as well as soft condensed matter, such as liquid crystals.
鈥淩esearch at the interface between liquid crystal and nanomaterials is considered one of the new frontiers and has produced new chemistry, physics, devices and prototypes for metamaterials,鈥 Hegmann said.
The keynote speaker is Thomas B眉rgi, Ph.D., professor of chemistry in the Physical Chemistry Department at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, who will present 鈥淐hirality of Nanoscale Gold Particles and Clusters.鈥
