PNNL Announces Next Seminar as part of its Community Science and Technology Seminar Series

The next seminar in Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series, “The New Stone Age” presented by Tiffany Kaspar, Materials Scientist at PNNL, will take place on Tuesday, September 8, 2020, at 7:00 p.m., via Zoom.
 
Stone was the first material that ancient man fashioned into tools, but was later relegated to use as a building material. In the last century, the oxides that comprise rocks and minerals have been recognized to possess the widest range of fundamental properties of any class of materials. Oxides made both the solid-state transistor and flat-panel displays possible. Despite these achievements, the true potential of oxides to revolutionize modern life has only begun to be tapped. I will illustrate how we are designing new oxides to advance microelectronics and catalysis as we prepare to usher in the New Stone Age.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Community Science and Technology Seminar Series was launched to help the general public better understand and explore how science transforms our world.
