Free but registration requested

At the inaugural Wei Lecture, Dr. Shan will share her groundbreaking research on the properties of layered two-dimensional materials. Her work is inspired by the investigations of graphene that lead to the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. Just as graphene was isolated from graphite, a host of 2D materials have been isolated from their parent crystals. These 2D materials exhibit many remarkable properties that are absent in the parent crystals. Moreover, it is possible to stack different 2D materials layer by layer with precise control over the registry between the layers. Learn how these atomic “deli sandwich” structures provide unprecedented opportunities for designing new materials properties and applications.  Admission is free but registration requested. RSVP by October 17, 2018.

  • Reception: 4 - 4:30 p.m. in the Myrtle Tree Alcove
  • Lecture: 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. in the Construction Engineering Hall
