I should take it off, right? Just wanted to show you my pretty, colorful mask, and I am also wearing this colorful mask. Welcome, friends to this unusual way of holding a meditation workshop without sitting together and meditating. All my life, when we have had meditation sessions, they were by sitting together and meditating together. And now you have to meditate in your own homes, and all I can do is to give you some hints about meditation. I plan to do that in these three days, which would have normally been meditating together for the whole day. Now, I’ll just give you a short introduction to good meditation, and I hope that you will take advantage of it and meditate for the rest of the day in your own homes.

Such structures have only short-range order and are isotropic, making colors invariant with viewing angle under natural lighting conditions. Our recent simulation suggests that colloidal particles with independently controlled diameter and scattering cross section can realize the structural colors with angular independence. In this presentation, we are exploiting depletion-induced assembly of colloidal particles to create isotropic structures in a milimeter-scale droplet. As a model colloidal particle, we have designed and synthesized core-shell particles with a large, low refractive index shell and a small, high refractive index core. The remarkable feature of these particles is that the total cross section for the entire core-shell particle is nearly the same as that of the core particle alone. By varying the characteristic length scales of the sub-units of such ‘photonic’ droplet we aim to tune wavelength selectivity and enhance color contrast and viewing angle. 8:12AM A51.00002 Curvature-Induced Capillary Interaction between Spherical Particles at a Liquid Interface1 , NESRIN SENBIL, CHUAN ZENG, BENNY DAVIDOVITCH, ANTHONY D.

  • Annual Report 2008-09 Message from the PRESIDENT President’S Message
    VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE AND STATE UNIVERSITY annual report 2008-09 Message from the PRESIDENT President’s Message: CharlesAs we look back W on. the Steger 2008-09 school year, the Virginia Tech community has a lot for which to be thankful and proud. But there are also some challenges on the resource side. We educated a record number of students — students who brought with them the highest-quality high school achievements ever. One of those students won a prestigious Truman Scholarship, which recognizes college juniors who have exceptional leadership potential. The educators who taught those students were recognized nationally and internationally for their accomplishments, including another six CAREER awards for top young professors. Research revenues continued to rise despite the ailing economy, and the university’s national ranking in that arena soared 12 places to its top spot ever. The university made huge strides in its effort to become “greener.” The board of visitors and the University Council approved the Virginia Tech Climate Action Commitment Resolution and accepting the accompany- ing Sustainability Plan. The plan calls for, among other things, pursuing LEED Silver certification or better for all new buildings and renovations, a 35 percent recycling rate by 2012, specific targets for reductions in green- house gas emissions, reductions in electric usage, and improvements in transportation efficiency. Virginia Tech is rapidly moving deeper into medical education and research. The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute in Roanoke broke ground and will open in July 2010. The school of medicine also received its preliminary accreditation in May and is evaluating candidates for the inaugural class.
