What do you imagine when you hear "order"? An Othello board with same distanced-cells? A straight line of ants? Actually, the "order" what we know is not all, but it is just in a limited sense. If you learn about quasi-crystal, you may see what order means. Quasi-crystal is the theme of Nobel prize of chemistry of 2011. We will have an event about quasi-crystal with the leading person in quasi-crystal field, Prof. An-Pang Tsai. He will give a lecture about quasi-crystal, an episode of Dr. Dan shechtman, about quasi-crystal material used in our daily life,etc. (in Japanese) Date: 23rd December Place:National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan)2-3-6 Aomi, Koto-ku, Tokyo 135-0064, Japan |
