Linking Proteins, Wires, Dots, and Molecules into Useful Devices December 9, 2008

Through contemporary art, historical artifacts, and large-scale models, Molecules That Matter showcases ten organic molecules that profoundly altered modern life. In conjunction with this fascinating exhibition, five speakers—all leaders in their fields—will address the science in everyday experiences and the promise and peril of discovery and innovation.

Dawn A. Bonnell, director of the Nano/Bio Interface Center at the University of Pennsylvania, presents “Linking Proteins, Wires, Dots, and Molecules into Useful Devices.” She leads the center’s "Small Times Journal", which is ranked number one in the nation in nanotechnology research. Her research involves the assembly of complex nanostructures and nanometer-scale electronic phenomena. Doors open at 5 p.m. Lecture begins at 6 p.m. Reception begins at 7 p.m. Guests will get a sneak peak of the new Museum at CHF
