MSE Seminar: “Tuning Nanostructured Materials for Combustion Applications” (Kerri-lee A. Chintersingh, Ph.D., New Jersey Institute of Technology)
Metals powders like aluminum and boron are attractive potential fuel additives for pyrotechnics, propellants and explosives due to their high energy release upon oxidation. However, they tend to agglomerate, have […]
IDEAS/STAT Optimization Seminar
Herman P. Schwan Distinguished Lecture: “Engineering Proteins, Genomes, Viruses & Organs” (George Church, Harvard & MIT)
Our exponential technologies for reading, writing genomes and epigenomes combined with AI-ML has enabled large libraries and selections for radical new functions — e.g. resistance to all viruses, novel delivery […]
