The HVCC Chemistry Club invites all interested on Monday, April 22, 2024 at 2 p.m. in SCI 385 to watch an ACS webinar entitled “Shining a Nanofocused Light on the Hidden Secrets of Stradivari’s Violins” The webinar features Dr. Chiaramaria Stani, CERIC-ERIC scientist at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, and Dr. Giacomo Fiocco of the Arvedi Laboratory of Non-Invasive Diagnostics at the University of Pavia as they discuss the life of Antonio Stradivari with a focus on the unique construction process of his bowed string instruments, specifically for the San Lorenzo 1718 and Toscano 1690 violins. Viewers will discover more about the novel scientific advances achieved regarding the mystery behind the treatment of the violin’s wood coating as well as a short review of the literature and introduction of the IR s-SNOM nano-vibrational approach.
