Science & Art Cabaret: Illuminating Nano

Science as you have never seen itbefore: out of the lab and into the underground!



Presented by the University at Buffalo and Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, the Science & Art Cabaret is an entertaining mash-up of cutting-edge science with art, music, poetry, and performance. Held in the Ninth Ward at Babeville's Asbury Hall, the Cabaret is all about connections: order a drink at the bar and hear top university researchers discuss their work in context with creative minds from the Arts and Humanities. We pick a topic and look at it from all angles.

This November, we illuminate how light interacts with nano-scale materials causing beautiful, strange and very useful effects. How do nanostructures in butterfly wings create colors? What makes Graphene so special that it deserved the Nobel prize? What is the potential of nano-science for biology and medicine?
