Replacing Copper with Light

Dr. Cun-Zheng Ning, Professor of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University’s Fulton Schools of Engineering, will discuss work on replacing copper with light in communication systems and computers, focusing on his work with nano-lasers and how they may be used to create far more powerful, faster and efficient microchips for future supercomputers.

Tempe Arts and Sciences Salon
A place to think, converse and converge

The Gallery at Tempe Center for the Arts is proud to host a free collaborative arts and sciences program with the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University and the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe. This series features informal discussion sessions with artists, scholars, scientists and technologists who share information about the theme of “copper” in conjunction with the TCA’s Juried Biennial: Copper exhibition.
