Coming Soon: Virtual Super Stellar Friday and Imaging Atoms!

It's one challenge to take pictures of the celestial bodies in the universe and quite another to take pictures of atoms, but believe it or not, the change in scale is about the same. Atoms make up everything we touch and see, but understanding -- and seeing -- atoms is something we've only accomplished in the last 30 years. Join us online Friday, November 5th at 7 pm to hear Dr. Shawna Hollen of University of New Hampshire talk about how her team takes pictures of atoms in their lab and how they can use those images to understand strange behavior in matter and design next-generation materials.
This event will happen by zoom webinar and is free and open to the public, but registration is required- you can register here.
