CHF’s annual T. T. Chao Symposium celebrates and encourages innovation in the Houston area. The 2010 Chao Symposium—which kicks off the Week of Nano at Rice University—brings together those whose work earned researchers Robert F. Curl, Jr., Harold W. Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
8:30 a.m. Nobel Session
Curl and Kroto join James Heath and Sean O’Brien, who were graduate students at the time of the carbon60 discovery, in a forum moderated by CHF president and CEO Thomas R. Tritton.
2:00 p.m. Carbon Nanotechnology I
This session highlights the expansion of carbon-fullerene structures into applications that are transforming materials science today. Papers will be presented by Phaedon Avouris, Mildred Dresselhaus, Andreas Hirsch, and Donald Huffman.
Conference sessions are free, but registration is required. Fees will be charged for breakfast and lunch.
