This talk will chart the development of a fundamental building block of nanoscience�colloidal inorganic nanocrystals.  We will examine fundamental scaling laws for size and shape-dependent properties; the ability to synthesize nanocrystals with controlled composition, topology, and connectivity; the deep applications of artificial nanostructures in biology; the study of nanocrystals at the single particle level; the emergence of collective behavior when nanocrystals are coupled together; and the prospects for nanocrystals to play an important role in energy science and technologies.
