Rosie Rios, the 43rd Treasurer of the United States explores how understanding our history will provide a clearer roadmap for understanding where the country's future is heading.  Presented by the Ames Women's Influence Network (WIN) and the Hispanic Advisory Committee for Employees (HACE) in the Syvertson Auditorium (N-201) at Ames Research Center.

Space Vacuum Epitaxy Center works with industry and government laboratories to develop advanced thin film materials and devices by utilizing the most abundant free resource in orbit: the vacuum of space. SVEC, along with its affiliates, is developing semiconductor mid-IR lasers for environmental sensing and defense applications, high efficiency solar cells for space satellite applications, oxide thin films for computer memory applications, and ultra-hard thin film coatings for wear resistance in micro devices. Performance of these vacuum deposited thin film materials and devices can be enhanced by using the ultra-vacuum of space for which SVEC has developed the Wake Shield Facility---a free flying research platform dedicated to thin film materials development in space.
