Nanoscience is the study of the unimaginably small objects that are measured in nanometers, a billionth of a meter. Nanotechnology is the manufacture of just about anything using individual atoms and molecules as building blocks. Duke's nanoscience initiative involves faculty in physics and chemistry and in the Pratt School of Engineering working at one of the scientific and technological frontiers of 21st-century research, with implications for computers, biology, electronics, optics, and material design.
The Visualization seminar series is a forum for faculty, staff and students from across the university to share their research involving the development and/or application of visualization methodologies. Its goal is to build an interdisciplinary community of visualization experts whose combined knowledge can facilitate research and promote innovation.
