Howard Schmidt [member of Christ the King Lutheran Church], executive director of Rice University’s Carbon Nanotechnology Lab; Douglas Natelson, assistant professor of physics and astronomy and in electrical and computer engineering at Rice; and Kevin Robinson of Lockheed Martin examine research equipment at Rice’s Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology.
In collaboration with the Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, the institute produced a course titled “Fundamentals and Applications of Nanotechnology” for Lockheed Martin employees to learn about technology on the scale of single atoms and molecules. As the first of its kind, the weeklong course featured lectures and lab tours by more than 20 faculty members at the Smalley Institute.
