The Cafe Scientifique is still holding their monthly meetings at Bella Cena, 1506A Spruce Street. They meet there at 6 the first Monday of the month.
In April, they’ll feature Temple’s Dr. Michael Schrlau (sorry, can’t find a link for the guy), who’ll apparently talk about the applications of nano-materials in medicine. Aside from your Docker’s and other feats of commercial materials science, I’ve always thought that nanotechnology’s first real impact will be in medicine. Nanotechnology is, after all, materials science at the scale of life.
He will explore one of the most exciting new nano-structures,carbon nano-tubes,and how they are being used in cell nano-surgery to allow scientists to discover secrets hidden in single living cells
