Trust and distrust: symmetrical or distinct and independant?

Professor Mark Saunders, Surrey Business School explores the potential for employee trust and distrust to co-exist during this seminar, further proposing two new combinations of levels of trust and distrust the implications of research findings for theory and for organisations.

Physics Lecture Series 2013 - Flying Frogs, Graphene and the 2010 Physics Nobel Prize

Physics Lecture Series 2013 - Flying Frogs, Graphene and the 2010 Physics Nobel Prize

 Graphene is set to transform the electrics industry. It is one of the strongest materials known to human-kind, its isolation won the Physics Nobel Prize, and it is only one carbon atom thick. And you probably haven’t even heard of it! This lecture will discuss and demonstrate of the rich variety of physical ideas, technologies and concepts flowing from the discovery of graphene. You’ll also hear about Griffith University research on graphene. So what do flying frogs have to do with this? Come along and find out!

Physics Lecture Series 2013 - Trapped Ions for Quantum Computing

 Meet the team that is on the very edge of quantum mechanics, taking an image of a single atom. The image of a shadow of a single atom is a world first achieved by using a laser to illuminate the atom then passing a laser by the atom to cast a shadow. Find out why this research will influence the future for quantum computing.
