tis wan juz see

Dear 1E4 & 1E5,
On 10 September 2008 (Wednesday afternoon), there will be a lecture by Assoc Prof Sow Chorng Haur on "Introduction to the Nanoworld: What do Atoms and Molecules Really Look Like?" held at River Valley High School.
The aim of this lecture is to give you an appreciation of the nano-sized regime and scientists’ fascination in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. What are some of the potential applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology? How does one manipulate nano-sized objects? How does one make structures out of nanomaterials? It is a very broad field so after introduction, the lecturer will focus on atoms and molecules. He will discuss the components and structures of individual atoms. How do atoms combine together to create the various forms of matters? To study the properties of the atoms and matters up close, we need very powerful microscope. He will discuss two fascinating microscopic techniques, namely, scanning electron microscope and scanning tunneling microscope, that scientist invented to probe into small tiny structures. He will show “images” of atoms and molecules obtained using these techniques. Finally, he will discuss how scientists learn to manipulate individual atoms and arrange them into various structures.

Will the blog admin of both class post this notice in your respective class blog. Thanks!
Happy Holidays!
