Drs. Kenichiro Itami (RIKEN Japan), Tatsuya Tsukuda (University of Tokyo) and Takashi Yoshimura (Nagoya University) will present their varied research to the public at the inaugural Carbon to Metal Coating Institute Public Lecture! These will not be technical talks and should be easily accessible to the public. 

Itami will present Crafting super molecules: Creativity is just connecting things 

Tsukuda will present “Golden” Superatoms: Artificial Elements for New Materials Chemistry 

Yoshimura will present The Secrets of Biological Clocks 

The mission of the C2MCI is global leadership in interdisciplinary research, innovation, & education, focused on benefiting society through novel carbon to metal coatings at the nano, micro and macro scale. We work with a large team of collaborators to solve relevant problems using N-heterocyclic carbenes as the unifying theme of our work.
