Event details
Come and hear MacDiarmid Institute scientists talk about how materials science is offering a greener future for our planet.
Our scientists will talk about how solar energy materials, new battery technologies, and carbon capture can offer a zero carbon future.
We are not climate scientists and this lecture is not about climate change. We are materials scientists and we’ll be speaking about research underway here in New Zealand that may reduce and perhaps even remediate the effects of climate change. This will include new energy technologies, renewables, energy efficient computers, recyclable consumer electronics and the upcycling of natural materials to contribute to a renewable economy.
Not in Gore? Let us know where you'd like us to visit next!
