“Flexible Printed Electronics: From Materials Characterization to Device Integration” by Dr. Tse Nga (Tina) Ng, Palo Alto Research Center

Seminar Abstract

Solution-processed electronic materials have been developed to enable manufacturing platforms complementary to conventional silicon technology. These electronic inks can be deposited and patterned by low-cost printing tools such as inkjet printers and gravure presses. Notably, the printing process is compatible with many substrates ranging from plastics to fibers, to potentially integrate electronics on … Read the rest »

“Directed Cell Fate in a Couple of Clicks: Dynamic Tailorability of the Stem Cell Niche” by Dr. Cole DeForest, California institute of Technology

Seminar Abstract

There is a growing interest in understanding how a cell senses its microenvironment and how these external cues influence important cellular functions.  Such information may be particularly important from a fundamental perspective (e.g., defining the stem cell niche), as well as from the applied viewpoint of regenerating functional tissue equivalents.  Though … Read the rest »

“Carbon Capture and Storage and Solar Water Splitting using Iron Oxide” by Dr. Christopher Bohn, National Research Council – Energy Research Group

Seminar Abstract

Chemical looping is a new energy approach that permits combustion of fossil fuels with inherent capture of carbon dioxide and can achieve thermal efficiencies >50 %. I present results on the development of iron-based oxygen carriers with excellent redox stability and rapid kinetics over repeated cycles. Using experimental and numerical techniques, I demonstrate … Read the rest »
