DANVILLE, VA, Oct. 29, 2009 - Luna nanoWorks, a division of Luna Innovations Incorporated, has partnered with the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) in Danville, Va., to offer the Science Café on Monday, Nov. 2. Nobel Laureate Sir Harry Kroto will host the Science Café titled "Bridging the Arts – Science Culture Gap." In 1996, Dr. Kroto was knighted for his contributions to chemistry and later that year, together with Robert Curl and Richard Smalley (of Rice University, Houston, Texas), received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the discovery of the C60 Buckminsterfullerene or "Bucky Balls," a new form of carbon. Dr. Kroto has been a member of Luna's Technical Advisory Board since 2006.
Luna nanoWorks is a supporter of the IALR's NanoScIEnce: Instruction for Educators Program, which exposes educators directly to the world of nanoscience and technology through lectures and activities led by world-renowned experts in the field.
"Luna is committed to developing the next-generation of technology workers and educating the community on nanotechnology on all levels," said Bob Lenk, President of Luna nanoWorks. "For example, we are a partner with Danville Community College in the development of a nanotechnology technician training program through a grant from the National Science Foundation. We also support the Danville Science Center in its annual Nano Days festival, and support the public school systems in the area in many ways."
At the NanoTeach 2009 Conference on Nov. 3, Luna will also have a table and be available to discuss its latest developments in nanotechnology.
