Green Family Lecture Series: “Building the Microscopes of Tomorrow” by Margaret Murnane

October 10, 2022

Abstract

If we could see in detail how the most advanced computer chips and solar panels work, or how viruses penetrate cells in real time, we would be able to develop more energy-efficient nanotechnologies, as well as better antimicrobials and vaccines. The microscopes of tomorrow, that take advantage of light or electrons to illuminate an object, can enable stunning views of how the nano world works in real time.
