SUMMARY:Digital Matter: Towards Colloidal Machines - Professor Sharon Glot
 zer\, University of Michigan
DTSTART:20141127T103000Z

UID:TALK54626@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Catherine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in the sophistication of nanometer to micron-s
 ized colloidal particles and their assemblies make possible the design and
  fabrication of functional colloidal elements that perform functions analo
 gous to those observed in more traditional self-assembling robots comprise
 d of macroscopic\, table-top sized building blocks.  These functional coll
 oidal elements make possible colloidal memory and colloidal computing\, co
 lloidal actuation\, colloidal bionics\, and colloidal compartmentalization
 .  In this talk\, we present first steps towards the realization of colloi
 dal machines via the design and synthesis of colloidal muscles\, digital c
 olloidal bits\, bionic colloidal assemblies\, and colloidal swarms.
