**************************************************
We have had an invitation from the University of Bradford to a Public Lecture – “The 2018 Cantor Technology Lecture” entitled:-
“Materials for the 21st Century: What will we dream up next ?”
“Whatever people think about the rapid pace of change of technology, our most fundamental categorisation of stuff on the planet has not altered: there are living things that we call life, and there is non-living stuff that we call rocks, tools, buildings and so on. As a result of our greater understanding of matter, this distinction is now becoming blurred and is likely to usher in a new materials age. Bionic people with synthetic organs, bones and even brains will be the norm. Just as we are becoming more synthetic, so our man-made environment is changing to become more lifelike: living buildings, and objects that heal-themselves are on the horizon. This lecture reviews the changes to the material world that are coming our way.”
Date and Time: Wednesday 28th February 2018 From 18.00 until 19.15
Location: University of Bradford, Norcroft Centre, Bradford BD7 1DP.
Speaker: Professor Mark Miodownik – Materials Engineer, Broadcaster and Writer.
