This field has the potential to transform almost every aspect of our lives for the better \u2013 from enabling our cell phones and computers to run faster to generating our power more efficiently to making our tennis racquets and golf clubs lighter and more durable. How can such small materials lead to such big advances? Come and discover all of the amazing size, shape and composition-dependent properties of nanomaterials that are changing the way we see the world on a length scale that can\u2019t even be observed with the naked eye.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo learn more about Chad Mirkin, click \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/matsci.northwestern.edu\/people\/faculty\/profiles\/chad-a-mirkin.html\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EChad Mirkin of Northwestern University will speak on \u0022Nanotechnology: Learning to Think Big in a Field Focused on the Small,\u0022 as part of the Brumley Pritchett Lecture Series, on Oct. 1 at 4 p.m.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Chad Mirkin of Northwestern University will speak on \u0022Nanotechnology: Learning to Think Big in a Field Focused on the Small,\u0022 as part of the Brumley Pritchett Lecture Series, on Oct. 1 at 4 p.m."}],"uid":"27445","created_gmt":"2012-08-07 16:14:46","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:59:24","author":"Amelia Pavlik","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-10-01T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2012-10-01T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-10-01T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-10-01 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-10-01 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-10-01 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/matsci.northwestern.edu\/people\/faculty\/profiles\/chad-a-mirkin.html","title":"Chad Mirkin"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.mse.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech School of Materials Science and Engineering"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"},{"id":"1259","name":"Whistle"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"39811","name":"Brumley Pritchett Lecture"},{"id":"39821","name":"Chad Mirkin"},{"id":"4497","name":"Materials Science and Engineering"},{"id":"10774","name":"MSE"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
