AASU's Lynch and Nivens to Lecture on NanophotochemistrySavannah, GA--November 4, 2005--Will Lynch and Delana Nivens, professors in the Department of Chemistry and Physics at Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU), will give a lecture on "Light Induced Nano Transformations: The Good and the Bad of Biological and Environmental Nanophotochemistry," as part of the Robert Ingram Strozier Faculty Lecture Series on November 18. The lecture will begin at noon in room 156 of University Hall. It is free and open to the public. Lynch and Nivens' talk highlights advances in nanophotochemistry research at AASU. Their research probes the effects of unleashing the power of light on nanoparticles in environmental settings. Nanoparticles are a new dimension in chemistry that have found increased interest due to the potential for major technological advances, such as fuel storage, medical uses, improved computing power, and other advances. Currently, they are looking into the effects of light activated nanoparticles on biologically relevant molecules and organisms, such as DNA and E. Coli.
