Materials Webinar | Nanomaterials Saving the Environment: World Researchers Coming Together
It is clear that our environment is crumbling due to record temperatures, flooding, natural disasters, CO2 emissions, and more. Such changes to our environmental are integrally linked to all facets of our life, most notably our ability to generate and use energy, our health and medicine, and so much more. Although new research in environmental science has emerged over the past several decades, it is unclear what difference such scientific advances are actually making. Is it too late ? Are such green technologies not being commercialized or reaching the marketplace ? Why have we not seen an ability to reverse these trends ? Is it all politics as usual ? This special webinar will include talks from premier scientists from all over the world who are using a new field to combat environmental problems: nanotechnology. Due to their significantly higher surface area per volume ratios, the use of materials with dimensions less than 100 nm (so called nanomaterials) have indeed showed the ability to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, limit CO2 emissions, incorporate sustainability principles, be biodegradable and more to help the environment. Here, we will focus on the use of nanomaterials for alternative energy and medicine applications, showing that green nanotechnology (or the reduced use of toxic materials when making nanomaterials as well as not using environmentally unfriendly materials during nanomaterial synthesis), does not impact the environment but can provide extraordinary energy and medicinal properties. In doing so, this collection of world researchers will present a technology which is being translated into real commercial products to finally save the environment: nanotechnology.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Dr. Thomas Webster, Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Sciences, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin, China
- Dr. Hasan Anwar, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and Biomedical Research Center, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar
- Dr. Sougata Ghosh, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, Thailand & Department of Microbiology, School of Science, RK University, Rajkot, India
- Dr. Gregory Guisbiers, Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Little Rock, AK, USA
- Dr. Jose Miguel García-Martin, Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology, CSIC, Madrid, Spain
When? 19 September 2022 at 2:00 pm CEST | 8:00 am EDT | 8:00 pm CST Asia
