[On_site_list] Nantotube Colloquium Today at 4 p.m.

[Dean Golembeski]

*Colloquium and lecture set for 4 p.m. today*

Mike Smith, a staff scientist as NASA's Langley Research Center, will present "Nanotubes - 20 Years and Into the Future" today in the CEBAF Center Auditorium.

Cookies and coffee will be available at 3:45 p.m.

Abstract:
Since the 1991 publication of the seminal paper describing the carbon nanotube, thousands of researchers have explored nanotubes' properties and potential applications. Few realize, however, that carbon's immediate neighbors on the periodic chart, boron and nitrogen, can also form perfect nanotubes. Mike Smith of NASA Langley Research Center will describe the discovery of a new method for making BNNTs that was developed at JLab's FEL. For applications from space elevators to nuclear physics, Smith will explore the possibility that better nanotubes have finally arrived.
