Physicists, chemists and biologists are now reaching the stage where some of the unfamiliar rules of quantum physics can be manipulated to achieve desired outcomes. Dr Simmons will explain how nanotechnology will give scientists and engineers the ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules and why this will revolutionise the 21st century in much the same way the transistor introduced the Information Age. The ability to build a computer from the atomic level upwards will allow us to exploit quantum physics with the aim of building a new generation of computers. The talk is free and open to the public. Dr Simmons is experienced in communicating complex science at a level non-scientists can benefit from hearing.
