(TCLS= Thursday Chemistry Lunch Seminar: 12.15-13 @ Tripletten
  • For ALL employees at the Chemistry Department!

    • Guest lecture on Material Demand for Energy – Friday Sept 20 @12.15

    This Friday, Professor James Metson, University of Auckland, NZ, is visiting Bergen and our department. He will deliver a guest lecture on Materials Demands for Mobility, Energy and Infrastructures for the cities of 2050.
    The lecture takes place in Tripletten (3069), at 12.15-13 on Friday September 20. Claim your seat!
    In addition to several high-profile rôles including deputy vice chancellor for research and science adviser to the NZ government, Dr. Metson is a PI at MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology. His field of expertise is surface chemistry and material science, and he holds a particular interest in the processing and behavior of aluminium oxide. His wider research interests include:
    • Metal oxides, hydroxides and nitrides in catalysis, semiconductor materials, absorbents and refractories
    • Synchrotron radiation and applications in surface and materials science.
    • Alumina microstructure and the impacts of alumina properties in aluminium reduction technology.
    Abstract of the talk:  The constraints of materials availability, supply line security and social licence demand a change of thinking in how we assess the optimal solutions for the cities of the future. Materials with high embodied energies or challenging supply lines are only viable if they are readily recycled at low energy cost.  This favours the top of the periodic table and survivors such as aluminium and steel whereas most plastics and even Portland cement become increasingly challenging.

    Evakuering 3.9

    Brannalarmen i dag skyldes at det var kraftig røykutvikling fra kantine-kjøkkenet i 2.etasje.

    Vi oppfordrer alle som evakueres til å trekke lengre unna utgangspartiene når vi evakuerer bygget. Brannvesenet måtte inspisere før vi slapp inn igjen.

     

    The fire alarm today was due to accident and heavy smoke from the cafeteria-kitchen in 2.floor.

    We kindly ask all employees and students to move further away from the doors (and building) when evacuated.

    Nano symposium – Kavli laureates and local talents

    The nano symposium was as every bit as exciting and stimulating as the program promised. Between the opening lecture by professor Thomas Ebbesen on light–matter interaction and the importance of vacuum (!) and the closing lecture by professor Virginijus Šikšnys on the invention and mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9 for DNA editing, four up-and-coming scientists from UiB presented research and plans for research, among them Mali Husby Rosnes at our department.

    Toward the end of the nano symposium, Hege Ommedal received well earned praise for her excellent coordination of the whole event.

     

    For those missing out on the symposium, there is a second chance to enjoy professor Ebbesen’s highly engaging exposition of his science in the Horizon lecture today, see details at the top of the Kjemi-Nytt entry page.

    In addition, the Kavli symposium Passion for science has also spurred the opening of a new exhibition at the University Museum that addresses the themes of the Kavli Prize: «On the smallest, the biggest and the most complicated» – learn about the University of Bergen’s research in nanoscience, astrophysics, and neuroscience. Enjoy!

     Forskningsmidler for forskningssamarbeid på Vestlandet

    UH-nett Vest har som et viktig formål å fremme forskningssamarbeid mellom Universitetene i Agder, Bergen og Stavanger (UiA, UiB og UiS) samt Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL) og i Volda (HVO). Midlene til forskningssamarbeid skal stimulere til utvikling av forskning på tvers i UH-nett Vest.

    Midlene skal i hovedsak gå til enkeltprosjekter hvor minst tre av institusjonene i UH-nett Vest står bak søknaden. Normalt kan det tildeles inntil 250.000 per søknad.. Tildelte midler må brukes innen utgangen av 2020 og det skal sendes rapport og regnskap for bruken av midlene. Søknadsfrist er 15. oktober 2019. For mer informasjon, se her.

    The Rectorate engaged in and at Chemistry

    Thursday last week, rector Dag Rune Olsen and his close co-workers in the Rectorate visited the MN Faculty and each and one of its seven departments, chemistry included.  At our department we invited the dignitaries to spend the allotted 30 minutes in one of our laboratories, to take part in our enthusiasm for chemistry and to gain some first-hand experience with our subject. This was a very nice opportunity to give some examples of what we as a department and chemistry as a discipline contribute with in the larger, societal context. We can always use a helping hand from Rector!
