Day Five : Bell Labs, Whippany

We woke up real early (7 am), had breakfast and went to visit the Bell Labs at Whippany. It started off with a lecture followed by tours... I visited the Network interoperability group, the 3G testing group etc. After that, we returned to the Bell Labs at Murray Hill where we had lunch.

After lunch we went with our case scientist to his lab. There he showed us how to make the layer of fluid, immediately adjacent to a surface (over which it was flowing) flow.

After that we listened to a 2 hr lecture by the Nobel Laureate Horst Stormer. He talked to us about Nanotechnology. He actually passed around his Nobel medals which all of us took photos of.

After the lecture we returned to the hotel and had dinner... dinner was a poolside barbecue at which Stormer was present, so all of us ended up asking him for autographs.

After dinner I joined my group and we did some project work.
