DESCRIPTION:Mother Nature as a Green Materials Engineer\, and what\nScienti
 sts can learn from her about Self-Assembly\nDr. Christopher Barrett (Centr
 e for the Physics of Materials and\nDept. Chemistry\, ɬÀï·¬)\n
 \nThe more time that Scientists and Engineers spend working at the\ncuttin
 g edge of Advanced Materials development\, the more impressed\nmany of us 
 become with Mother Nature\, and the fantastic solutions\nshe has already p
 rovided through millions of years of evolution.\nMaterials like spider sil
 k\, sea shell\, and bone still represent the\ncurrent forefront of nano-te
 chnology and space-age high-strength\ncomposites. Processes like vision an
 d bio-compatibility are equally\nimpressively complex and challenging to u
 nderstand fully\, let alone\nto copy or improve upon. This talk will descr
 ibe an emerging new\nguiding principle for Materials Development at ɬÀï·¬
 \, based on\nBio-Mimicry and Self-Assembly as an inspiration and a toolbox
 .\nIndeed\, there is much that current Chemistry\, Physics\, and\nEngineer
 ing can learn from History and Biology.\nOrganized by the Royal Society of
  Canada and ɬÀï·¬\nwith the express purpose of fostering commu
 nication between\nscientists in different disciplines as well as between s
 cientists\nand the public\, the Cutting Edge Lectures in\nScience are made
  possible through the generous\nsupport of Heather Munroe-Blum (ɬÀï·¬ Pri
 ncipal)\, Richard Levin\n(Dean of Medicine)\, Martin Grant (Dean of Scienc
 e)\, Anthony Masi\n(Provost) and Denis Thérien (Vice-Principal\, Research 
 and\nInternational Relations). Lectures are followed by a vin\nd'honneur r
 eception. Free\, everyone welcome.\n
