In this episode of Stories from the NNI, Dr. Lisa Friedersdorf (Director of the NNCO) speaks with Professor Kurt Kolasinski (Professor of Chemistry at West Chester University) about using self-limiting chemistry to form porous silicon nanoparticles and nanostructured silicon materials, key research advances enabled by nanotechnology -- such as the development of better catalysts, novel 2D materials, and faster computer memory devices -- and future challenges that nanotechnology will help to solve in the future.
