Think Science: Nanotechnology

Those nacho-flavored chips you're eating? They probably taste that way because of micro-flavor particles covering the surface. Engines that burn cleaner fuel? Thank nanotechnology. Sports equipment lasts longer, flies faster lighter weight material for aerospace and engineering, even biological machines within the human body. Even a decade ago there were over 800 publicly available products that could be classified as using nanotechnology, which is defined as science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers.

Join us at our next Think Science event on Friday, November 16, at noon as we talk to local scientists and researchers about their work in the field of nanotechnology. Learn what's available today, what's around the bend, and how we're using nanotechnology in our everyday lives, whether we know it or not! The event will be held at the Pearl Studio.

Guests:

Randy Glickman, UT Health
James Oxley, Southwest Research Institute
Heather Shipley*, UTSA
