Prof. Nick Kotov from the University of Michigan will be visiting the AIM lab on the 15th of May, 2017. Nick is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a Thompson Reuters Highly Cited Researcher, a MRS Fellow, and the MRS Medal winner, plus holds numerous other awards.  

He will give a talk as part of his visit and all are welcome.   One of the rapidly expanding fields of inorganic materials is chiral inorganic nanostructures (CNI).  His talk will cover both experiment and theory of CNI starting with the origin and multiple components of mirror asymmetry of individual NPs and their assemblies.  Differences and similarities with chiral structures known from other fields of chemistry will be discussed as well.
