Join us in celebrating National Nanotechnology Day at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) and learn about the most recent advances in cutting-edge nanoscience and nanotechnology research being conducted by CNM staff scientists and postdocs. The event takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019, in the Building 440 Lobby from 2 to 4 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.
2 p.m. poster session
Learn about the latest activities taking place at CNM, from superconducting time crystals to superlubricity, quantum science, machine learning, and more.
3 p.m. tour
CNM will host a tour of its state-of-the-art facilities for the first 15 people who sign up in person at the event. First come, first served.
Poster presentations include:
- “Nanoscale lubricants for real-world applications” presented by Aditya Ayyagari
- “Ultrathin metasurfaces for visible light” presented by Haogang Cai
- “Ground-state cooling with dark entangled states” presented by Cristian Cortes
- “Optical properties of colloidal quantum wells” presented by Benjamin Diroll
- “Ultrafast electron microscopy at the center for nanoscale materials” presented by Thomas Gage
- “A machine learning framework for impurity level prediction in semiconductors” presented by Arun Kumar Mannodi Kanakkithodi
- “Direct observation of ice melting at interface at cold temperature” presented by Yulin Lin
- “Watching lithium ion batteries at work” presented by Yuzi Liu
- “Quantum material for hybrid quantum networks” presented by Xuedan Ma
- “Superlubricity in rolling/sliding contacts” presented by Kalyan Mutyala
- “Can we protect the brain via in situ biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles” presented by Elena Shevchenko
- “The Effects of Atomic-Scale Strain Relaxation on the Electronic Properties of Monolayer MoS2” presented by Daniel Trainer
- “Surface atomic structures for improving performance in Li- and Na-ion batteries” presented by Lei Yu
- “Superconducting time crystals” presented by Xianjing Zhou
The event also provides an opportunity to learn how you can take advantage of CNM’s user facilities. Academic, industrial, and international researchers can access the center through its user program for both nonproprietary and proprietary research. Access is provided at no cost to users for research that is in the public domain and intended for publication.
The call for CNM user proposals is now open. Proposals are due on Oct. 25, 2019.
As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded research center, the CNM is at the forefront of discovery science that addresses national grand challenges encompassing the topics of energy, information, materials and the environment. The scientific strategy of the CNM unites three crosscutting and interdependent scientific themes that collectively aim at the discovery and integration of materials across different length scales studied at the extremes of temporal, spatial and energy resolutions.
