On the cover: Even the addition or subtraction of a single atom can influence the chemical, physical, and biological properties of nanoscale materials. Via the artwork You, Me, We Are All Parts of NanoWorld (1 to 100 nm), Todd Siler and Geoffrey Ozin reveal how a finite number of 118 known elements, at the nanoscale, can be used to create an infinite number of nanomaterials and practical applications to help us address many of today’s most urgent sustainability challenges. It manifests intuitions and insights into nature’s creative potential: we can build a sustainable future at the nanoscale.

Fortunately, AI, ML (MachineLearning), VI (Virtual Intelligent) machines, V.R. and AR (AugmentedReality) tools help us to learn and apply what we learn in new and effective ways. (That is, if you can access these tools.) Unfortunately, nothing beats “Reality”: Being physically present in a classroom--or any informal learning environment you enjoy--with a great, inspiring teacher who enables you to freely and creatively learn whatever truly interests you!

This year’s featured speaker is multimedia artist and creativity researcher Todd Siler, the first visual artist to be awarded a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and author of the book Think Like a Genius.

For the past four decades, Siler has integrated art and science to realize humans’ and nature’s creative potential. His visual lecture, “ArtScience: Catalyzing and Cultivating Innovative Thinking,” will highlight his ArtScience approach to tapping individual and collaborative creativity using arts-based learning methods and tools. These all-purpose tools foster innovative thinking and stimulate cross-disciplinary collaborations.
