UC Student Presents Studies on Engineered Nanoparticles-Biofilm Interaction at ACS Conference

Hengye Jing, University of Cincinnati environmental engineering doctoral student, presented his studies on the interaction between engineered nanoparticles (NPs) and biofilm. Biofilm is a group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other on a surface and these cells are usually embedded within a self-produced cluster of extracellular polymeric substance (or EPS—often referred to as slime). He presented research at the American Chemical Society conference Sept. 8-12.

Researchers Discover Size-Dependence in Nanotube Transport

Like a pea going through a straw, tiny molecules can pass through microscopic cylinders known as nanotubes. This could potentially be used to select molecules according to size — for example, to purify water by allowing water molecules to pass through while blocking salt or other substances.

Compact Voice Coil Positioning Stage From H2W

The engineers at H2W have developed our most compact voice coil positioning stage to date. The customer for this stage requested that it fit within a volume of 1.6 cubic inches (40 cubic mm) cube volume. The application required an ultra-compact stage due to space restrictions in their auto-focus mechanism.
