Trinity College Science Society ( TCSS ) is a student-run society that aims to provide a focal point for College members who are interested in science. We do this by organising a range of talks which are open to all, as well as some social events which are restricted to Trinity members. To receive emails about the events we run, join our mailing list. If you have a question about this list, please contact: Miroslava Novoveska; Trinity College Science Society; Sankalan Bhattacharyya; Yansheng Zhang; Irene Hou. If you have a question about a specific talk, click on that talk to find its organiser. 0 upcoming talks and 245 talks in the archive. Quantum Devices with GrapheneProf Klaus Ensslin (ETH Zurich).
