- **Event Description**: The world wants minerals, but scientists around Aotearoa are working on what we could make instead.About this EventThe MacDiarmid Institute is a network of leading researchers from around the country united in a common goal: to create and explore innovative, sustainable materials that will improve the lives of people in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the word. This talk will focus on critical minerals - raw materials that are essential to many existing and future technologies and have been making headlines in recent times due to increasing supply chain vulnerabilities. In this talk we will present materials science solutions that are being developed and utilised right now, in Aotearoa New Zealand, to recycle, replace or reduce our need for critical minerals.Speakers:Professor Nicola Gaston, Professor of Physics, University of Auckland, and Director and Principal Investigator, MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and NanotechnologyDr Joseph Nelson, Research Scientist, Lincoln Agritech, and Associate Investigator, MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology
