Lecture by Nobel Laureate Albert Fert

The 2007 Nobel laureate Albert Fert will be giving a public lecture tomorrow 7 March, at 1:30pm in Gallalee 227.

He will be talking about the present and future of "spintronics," electronics which relies on magnetically and electrically manipulating the spin of electrons rather than their charge for added functionality. Such stuff is in your hard disk, right now ...

The lecture is slated to last until 3pm, and there are refreshments afterwards ... not to often you get to see a Nobel prize winner, I encourage you to take the opportunity if you have time.
