| When: | 10/ 2/2012 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM |
| Description: | ALS Colloquium Host: Roger Falcone Presented by: Professor Helmut Dosch Chairman of the Board of Directors, DESY and Full Professor, University of Hamburg Title: 100 Years of X-ray Diffraction (including current Photon science activities at DESY) Abstract: With a revolutionary experiment in 1912, Max von Laue and his collaborators shed light on a new world which has remained invisible and sealed to mankind: the world of crystals, atoms and molecules. The Laue diffraction experiment opened the gateway to the nano space and to a heroic century of materials-driven innovations. None of our current technologies would have been possible without this bold exploration of the molecular structure of matter. I will elucidate the rather unusual (and vastly unknown) scientific setting and concepts which finally led to this discovery and will attempt a look into the future of x-ray diffraction. |
