Dr. Danilenko Lecture Held in January

On January 29, the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute sponsored a Nanodiamond Lecture by noted Ukrainian scientist Dr. Vyacheslav Danilenko.

Dr. Danilenko was among the first to demonstrate detonation synthesis of diamonds and has more than 30 years experience in the design of reactors for the synthesis of nanodiamonds.  Seventy-five students and researchers attended the event at the William F. Mitchell Auditorium in the Bossone Research Enterprise Building at Drexel University.

As nanodiamond applications in medicine, electronics, and lubrication continue to evolve, the technological variations and details of its synthesis will become vital to companies considering integrating nanodiamonds into their manufacturing processes and products.
