S.J. Hall Lectureship in Industrial Forestry Topic: "The Future of Biofuels: A Business Perspective" Speaker: David L. Godwin. Vice President, Minerals and Energy Products, Weyerhaeuser This lecture will discuss and frame the cellulosic biofuels business opportunity and present some practical solutions to some of the critical path elements. The renewable fuel mandates at both the state and federal level have created the demand for green energy. Research and pilot testing are taking place all over the world and many people in both the science and business community believe the time of commercially available biofuels is close at hand. But, the success and commercialization of biofuels will only be achieved when solutions address both the public concern associated with environmental impacts and create a reasonable economic return for the potential large capital investments.

Segre Lecture in Physics - Mildred Dresselhaus Segre Lecture in Physics - Why Are We So Excited About Carbon Nanostructures? MILDRED S. DRESSELHAUS, Institute Professor and Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering, MIT There is much current excitement about the interesting advances in science and the unusual physical properties of carbon nanostructures, particularly carbon nanotubes and graphene, which are both of great interest at the present time. A brief review will be given of the physical underpinnings of carbon nanostructures that were developed over the past 60 years, starting with the electronic structure and physical properties of graphene and graphite, and then moving to graphite intercalation compounds which contained the first carbon nanostructures to be studied experimentally. Liquid carbon studies were precursors to the fullerene family of nanostructures and vapor grown carbon fibers were precursors to carbon nanotubes. Particular emphasis is given to the recent developments in our understanding of the photophysics of carbon nanotubes and graphene, with perspectives on future research directions for these fields and applications that are emerging. http://physics.berkeley.edu/ http://mgm.mit.edu/ Tags: uc berkeley ucberkeley cal education Segre lecture physics Mildred Dresselhaus |
