SUMMARY:Shaking things up: new ways of doing chemical reactions and a new 
 class of semiconductors - Patrick Beldon

DESCRIPTION:PhD student Patrick Beldon speaks about a whole new kind of ch
 emistry!\n\nStereotypically\, chemists do reactions by dissolving chemical
 s and heating them up\; however\, reactions can also be driven by brute fo
 rce. By grinding solids together we can do reactions more quickly and in a
  more environmentally friendly way. We have been using this technique to m
 ake materials held together by the coordination of metals and organic mole
 cules. By using different metals or organic molecules we can tune the prop
 erties of our materials. Using this ability to tune the properties we are 
 currently developing these materials as a new class of semiconductors.
