Science Café presents Dr. Saw-Wai Hla on “Nanoscience: Playing Soccer with Atoms and Molecules” on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at 5 p.m. in the Baker Center Front Room.
Hla, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, “kicks” around atoms and molecules every day.His research focuses on individual atoms and how we can manipulate them.
“Everything is made of atoms, but people normally don’t think about them,” he says. “It’s good to know how far we can control atoms.” During his café, Hla plans to show the audience videos and demonstrations of how we can play with atoms at a microscopic level.He also will discuss nanotechnology and its important role in helping us understand our environment.
Attend the event or watch on A&S TV.
