Condensed Matter Seminar: "Building Colloidal Aggregates in Anisotropic Media"
Professor Colin Denniston, Western Ontario University
Colloids in a liquid crystal matrix exhibit very anisotropic interactions. Further, these interactions can be altered by both properties of the colloid and of the liquid crystal. This gives the potential for…

Condensed Matter Seminar: Optics at the Extreme
Professor Nader Enghetta, University of Pennsylvania
Recent development in condensed matter physics and nanoscience has made it possible to tailor materials with unusual parameters and characteristics. In my group, we have been exploring light-matter interaction in…
Astronomy Seminar: " Cosmic Rays, Solar Forcing and 20th Century Climate Change"
Nir J. Shaviv (Hebrew University of Jerusalem and IAS Princeton)
Physics Club Seminar
Phil Nelson, Biophysics
Dissertation Defense: "The Optical Properties of Spiky Gold Nanoshells"
Simon Hastings, UPenn
Condensed Matter Seminar: "Shaping Colloidal Assembly"
Professor Greg van Anders, University of Michigan
Advances in synthesis techniques have produced colloids and nanoparticles in a diverse array of shapes that can be assembled into bulk structures. That bulk structure is strongly affected by particle shape in idealized…
