Nanoscale engineering of biomedical interfaces with metals to improve human health


Join us for an engaging Café Scientifique with Terry Lowe, Professor at Colorado School of Mines.
 

EN: The interaction between living and non-living matter is governed by phenomena that occur at the scale of nanometers (1000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair). Understanding and controlling nanoscale interfaces with living tissue can enable us to accelerate healing, defeat infectious pathogens, and engineer neurointerfaces with the human brain. This presentation dives into the “nano-world” and shows three successful examples of how nanoscale architectures in solids benefit human health.

FR: L'interaction entre la matière vivante et non vivante est régie par des phénomènes qui se produisent à l'échelle nanométrique (1000 fois plus petite que le diamètre d'un cheveu humain). Comprendre et maîtriser les interfaces à l'échelle nanométrique avec les tissus vivants nous permettra d'accélérer la guérison, de lutter contre les agents pathogènes et de concevoir des neuro-interfaces avec le cerveau humain. Cette présentation explore le " nano-monde " et illustre, à travers trois exemples concrets, comment les architectures nanométriques dans les matériaux solides contribuent à la santé humaine.

Free and open to all curious minds — come with questions!
