Alex Zettl [Professor of Physics, UC Berkeley]
Abstract:
I will discuss challenges in the design and construction of functional nanomachines. Simply adopting the materials and methods of microtechnology is often unproductive. I will describe efforts at Berkeley to overcome the challenges. We have combined new nanoscale imaging and manipulation techniques with unique materials to create various exotic machines including crystal-powered nanomotors and single-molecule radio receivers and transmitters.

Biography:
Alex Zettl received a B.A. degree from the UC Berkeley in 1978, a Ph.D. degree from UCLA in 1983, and joined the faculty of the UCB Physics Department in 1983. He is currently a Professor of Physics and a Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

  • If friction is a problem, superconductors are the solution.

  • Great video, except the speaker needed to turn his microphone setting up. Everyone else was easy to hear but he was very very quiet. Annoying.
