DESCRIPTION:The historical development of human civilization is often categ
 orized in terms of materials that shaped that era - Stone Age\, Bronze Age
 \, and Iron Age. Currently\, we live in the Silicon Age where the progress
  of human civilization rests on our ability to process silicon\, an elemen
 t abundant in sand and stones\, to produce hi-tech computers and devices. 
 We will discuss the rise of silicon and the events that led to the electro
 nic world that we live in today\, as well as the geopolitical events unfol
 ding around us as countries tussle to ensure their future security through
  ownership over materials and technology that tame silicon. \n\nPresenter:
  Ramesh Adhikari is an assistant professor of Physics and Astronomy at Col
 gate University. His research focuses on developing bio-based electronic m
 aterials for their application in electronics.
