| Time：1131204 (Wed.) 14:20~16:20 Speaker：Prof.朱士維(Chu, Shi-Wei) 國立臺灣大學物理學系/Department of Physics, National Taiwan University Title：Optical microscopy inneuroscience and nanoscience Abstract： The Nobel Laureate Sydney Brenner once said: “Progress of science depends on new techniques, new discoveries and new ideas, probably in that order.” In the past decade, I have been working on the development of novel optical microscopy, toward the discovery in neuroscience and nanoscience. On neuroscience, together with partners in brain tech project, we focus on enhancing contrast, resolution, speed, and depth, aiming to capture the communication signals among every single neuron in a living brain. On nanoscience, we unusually apply confocal laser scannning microscopy, which is a routine tool in biology but not with nanomaterials, to inspect single metallic and semiconductor nanostructures. We discovered 1000 to 100000 fold enhanced photothermal nonlinear responses, leading to the realization of all-optical switch and super-resolution capability, as well novel light-matter interactions such as optical biostability and displacement resonance.
