6th Annual Symposium

The goal of this workshop is to spark interactions and collaborations between the research groups in the Triangle area. The workshop format is very informal, and an emphasis is placed on spurring conversations between researchers in all areas of soft matter research. “Soft matter” here is defined very broadly, and it includes (but is not limited to) work in polymers, colloid science, synthetic and naturally occurring biomaterials, and condensed matter physics.

In early November, MRSEC education directors met at the University of Pennsylvania to discuss ongoing outreach efforts and initiatives. Check out presentation highlights from individual centers.

The MRSEC Educator Directors Meeting will be held on November 30, 2009 and will be hosted by the Center for Materials Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) (77 Massachusetts Ave., see map). We will be meeting in Room 10-105 (The Bush Room). It is located along the main corridor, accessed

The design of artefacts commonly involves the convergence of many technologies; this re-mains true for artefacts now being created at the nanoscale. However, round about 2000 the phrase ???converging technologies??? acquired a special interpretation related to the convergence of biotechnology, nanotechnology, information technology and cognitive science (acronym BNIC) for the improvement of ???human performance.???
