CRISP Nanotechnology Lecture, Demos & Lab Tour:
Prof. Andre Taylor: Nanotechnology Energy Applications:
How Small things make a big difference in our world
Saturday, September 28, 2013
10:00am-12:00pm
Davies Auditorium, 10 Hillhouse Ave, New Haven, CT
FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Over the past few decades, scientists and engineers have been seeking to develop new and improved types of energy technologies that have the capability of improving life all over the world. In order to make the next leap forward from the current generation of technology, developing energy applications of nanotechnology are imperative. On September 28th, Yale Professor André Taylor, Director of the Transformative Materials and Devices Lab, will talk about how he uses nanotechnology to dope, arrange, & assemble carbon nanotubes into energy devices (electrocatalysts, batteries, & solar cells). He will also describe his work with bulk metallic glass alloys, an amorphous metal that can be molded like plastic into a micro fuel cell. Following the talk, you may explore hands-on science demonstrations and take a tour of Professor Taylor’s laboratory to see how these devices are created and why nanotechnology is so amazing. Refreshments will be served.

Science Saturdays is a special lecture series designed for families that brings the excitement of research and the passion of scientists to school-age children. Each event involves a lecture by a Yale professor and engaging science demonstrations run by Yale college students. The lectures occur 3 times per semester, are free and open to the public and the topics explored are for “kids” in 7th grade and above.
Girls’ Science Investigations
Oct. 5, 2013: The Invisible World
Nov. 16, 2013: The Material World
9am-2pm
Sloan Physics Laboratory, 217 Prospect St.
FREE and OPEN TO ALL GIRLS IN THE 6th – 8th GRADE
For more information and to register: http://gsi.sites.yale.edu
Girls' Science Investigations is for girls in 6-8th grade who are interested in learning more about science. Each theme-based Saturday program has two morning sessions with a snack in between, followed by a pizza lunch and a short afternoon session. Students will have the opportunity to observe Yale faculty, run demonstrations, and participate in hands-on experiments. The mission of Girls' Science Investigations is to motivate, empower, and interest girls in developing the skills they need to pursue careers in science.
