The Cambridge CNT Society is proud to present its first graduate talk of the year. The talk will be presented by Maximilian Bock, who is the current president of the society since 2010. His research activities are focused on CNT synthesis using optical and novel techniques. At the event their will be an opportunity for new members to join the society.

Abstract

Pollution, over-population, scarcity of resources are shaping our lives more than ever before. With society turning to efficient, affordable and environmentally friendly solutions, our fourth most abundant element in the universe, in the form of carbon nanotubes, may provide just what we are looking for. This talk will take you on a visual journey through the scientific jungle with a glimpse towards what our near future may look like.

This talk is hosted in collaboration with the Stokes Society.

Newsflash

The Nano Science & Technology Doctoral Training Centre Cambridge (NanoDTC) has invited all early career researchers at the University of Cambridge to enter a competition to display their Nano-fabrication prowess.  The challenge is to reproduce the London 2012 olympic logo in nanoscale by whatever method one could. The size of the fabricated nanoscale logo must be within 1 micron (should be able to fit inside a 1 micron diameter circle), one can use any material or method at your disposal. Nano-ingenuity, creativity and fidelity will score highly.

Our society entered for this competition and made it to the finals with the following entry:
