SLC Nano Days held March 23-24th, 2013

Nano Days is a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and its potential impact on the future. Nano Days is all about connecting the general public to the scientific community. Guests have an opportunity to meet “nano scientists” and learn about their research through hands-on activities and presentations.

 
Nate and Yan (Zoe) to attend the 2012 GPEN Conference
Nate Larson and Yan (Zoe) Zhou have been selected to attend the 2012 GPEN Conference in Melbourne, Australia November 28-December 1, 2012
Quantum dots can emit a wider range of light with less energy than existing materials, so many believe they will be used in future generations of solar panels, televisions, cellphones and related products
 
In partnership with the Nano Institute and USTAR, NanoDays at the Natural History Museum of Utah featured five nano scientists who were on hand  to help visitors explore research within the miniscule world of atoms, molecules and nanoscale forces.
