报告人简介：
CH Sow received the B.Sc. degree (1st Hon) in Physics from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1991. After spending two more years in NUS, he received the M.Sc. degree in Physics from NUS. He went on to The University of Chicago and completed his PhD degree in 1998. During the period in 1999-2000, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Bell Laboratory, Lucent Technologies. He returned to NUS in year 2001. He is now a Professor with the Department of Physics. He has authored and coauthored a number of papers in the field of nanoscience and nanomaterials.
报告摘要：
Nanoscience is an exciting area of science that studies the world with objects that have very small dimension. All sort of scientists (physicist, chemist, biologist, material scientist, engineer etc.) are studying very small thing in order to better understand the nanoworld. We want to be able to manipulate and understand matter at molecular level, to create artificial structures. This is because structures exhibit novel and very much improved mechanical, chemical, electrical, optical and biological properties, due entirely to their nanoscopic size. Whenever scientists and engineers push their understanding and control over matter to finer scales (nanoscale regime), they invariably discover qualitatively new phenomena and invent qualitatively new technologies. The aim of this presentation is to give the audience an appreciation of the nanosized regime and scientists’ fascination in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. The talk aims to address the following questions: (a) What is nanoscale? Why Nanoscience? (b) What are some applications of Nanotechnology? (c) How do you manipulate nanoscale objects? (d) How do you make structures out of nanomaterials? The talk shall be presented with the help of a number of fun-filled demonstrations aiming to illustrate the concepts discussed.
