Brookhaven Lecture

"464th Brookhaven Lecture: 'Toward Catalyst Design From Theoretical Calculations'"

Presented by Ping Liu, Ph.D., Chemistry Department

Wednesday, December 15, 2010, 4:00 pm — Berkner Hall Auditorium

Catalysts have been used to speed up chemical reactions as long as yeast has been used to make bread rise. Today, catalysts are used everywhere from home kitchens to industrial chemical factories. In the near future, new catalysts being developed at Brookhaven Lab may be used to speed us along our roads and highways as they play a major role in solving the world�s energy challenges. During the lecture, Liu will discuss how theorists and experimentalists at BNL are working together to formulate and test new catalysts that could be used in real-life applications, such as hydrogen-fuel cells that may one day power our cars and trucks.

Hosted by: Steve Musolino
