\\nCynth ia Goh\, Professor of Chemistry\, University of Toronto: Nano materials: from fundamental science to applications and impact
\n< p>Abstract: \nWhy are we fascinated with the nanos cale? In this talk I will answer that question from the perspective of my lab\, in terms of the challenges as well as opportunities that are offered . I will discuss perspectives on the commercialization of scientific knowl edge and why it is important in our impact on society\, particularly with regards to the global community.
