Explore Diamonds, Volcanic Dust and Dark Matter

Coatings protect our cars, counter tops and computer screens from dust, dirt and scratches. But what about highly sensitive equipment? What about dust in space?

Join the Madison College Math Club on Friday, February 5, at 3:30 p.m., for “Diamonds, Volcanic Dust and Dark Matter,” a lecture by Professor James Hamilton, director of the Nanotechnology Center for Collaborative Research and Development. The lecture will be held in Room 209 at Truax.

Professor Hamilton,who also teaches in the Department of Chemistry and Engineering Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, will discuss developments in nanotechnology that have led to special coatings now used on such diverse surfaces as the Hope Diamond, the Hubble Space Telescope mirrors and telemetry optics for rocket, missile and shuttle launches at NASA.
