CharFac Demo Program
CharFac is inviting proposals for a program to allow scientists from industrial companies to join a CharFac expert for a free 3-4 hour analysis session with 1-2 samples and an instrument of your choice. Participants must be new to CharFac, or not have been a CharFac user/client in at least two years. This program promotes interaction between industrial scientists facing specific challenges, and CharFac scientists who have a broad perspective in analytical methods to help address them. At the end of the session the preliminary results will be discussed with you.

Workshop on Gas Sorption Techniques
A special workshop on characterizing powders by physisorption & chemisorption will be held at the Minnesota Nano Center on October 22 and 23. The "Master Gas Sorption Techniques" workshop is presented in conjunction with experts from Anton Paar, a leading manufacturer of gas sorption analyzers. The workshop will feature presentations on physi- and chemisorption theory, tool demonstrations, and hands-on experience with our Quantachrome Autosorb iQ gas sorption system. If your work involves dry powder synthesis, particle characterization, catalysis, structured surfaces, or related research areas, you will find this workshop useful. Please go here for more information and registration. Space is limited, so please register soon.
Quantum+Chips
The Quantum+Chips program was a 10 day program designed for undergraduate students to introduce them to key topics in quantum phenomena and their computing devices. The program ran from 7/31/23 to 8/11/23 and involved tutorials on quantum devices and concepts, a computer lab to learn how to program an actual quantum computer, presentations from industry on recent advances in chip technology, lab tours, and visits to local high-tech companies.
