Dr. Cohen’s seminar on Sep. 22, 2008

As a former chemist, I have knowledge background in physics. Attending today’s Dr. Cohen’s seminar, today, I felt like I became an undergraduate student again, traveling with the Time Machine and enjoying the best of human knowledge. I am so grateful for having this opportunity!

Dr. Cohen began his talk with the activities related to the World Year of Physics in 2005 when he served as President of the American Physical Society as well as ended his talk with quote from Einstein. Leading audience travel back to the beginning of condensed matter physics, he discussed different theory models  as well as his current research on the electronic structure of solids, especially materials.

The following are selected citations.

Citation of Dr. Small’s talk

On Sep. 15, 2008 Prof. Small from Physics Department of Cal Poly Pomona gave the talk of Beating the diffraction limit–Don’t believe everything you hear in Physics 163!

The talk is based on his research work funded by NIH in the area of “optical imaging and nanopatterning below the diffraction limit”.

He didn’t cite many references in his talk, but reported his research progress regarding the topic of diffraction limits. If you are interested in doing some further reading, here is one of his publications in this area.
