How small can we go with computers? What happens as materials get as tiny as the dinosaur I've shrunk to the size of a pen? Amanda Petford-Long is a distinguished physicist in the Materials Science Division of the Argonne National Laboratory and an expert in nano-scale materials. Join us as she discusses what nanomaterials are and why they are so crucial to the way we function in our everyday lives. Petford-Long will appear with the Ohio State University's Science Sundays event on March 18, describing how microscopes can be used as "nano-laboratories." No dinosaurs were injured in the making of this image. Podcast: Play in new window | Download ## About Doug Dangler Current: Host of Craft on WCBE, 90.5 FM, central Ohio's NPR station.

Amanda Petford-Long
Career and research.
Petford-Long moved to Argonne National Laboratory in 2005. 
 She served as director of the Center for Nanoscale Materials from 2010 to 2014, developing new techniques for nanoscale characterisation. She delivered a lecture for the Chicago Council on Science and Technology in 2014. 
 She has explored the microstructure and magnetic field properties in multiferroic tunnel junctions. She works with Jacqueline Johnson on fluorozirconate glass for novel ceramics, using pulsed laser deposition to fabricate thin films. She has demonstrated that nanoparticle crystallisation impacts the optical properties of the glass ceramics. Pulsed laser deposition allows her to control the distribution of europium dopants and the nanocrystalline phase behaviour. The applications include up and down-converters for solar cells.
