CEMAS Launches Microscopy Collaboratory with AFRL
|
Solving complex problems increasingly requires access to sophisticated technology and equipment. The Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) is removing one big access barrier with the launch of its first remote electron microscopy collaboratory. Now Air Force Research Laboratory researchers at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base can utilize world-class microscopes without traveling to Columbus. Next, CEMAS plans to offer remote access statewide.

Producing UV Light Via Thin Film Technology
|
Some may say bigger is better, but MSE’s Dr. Roberto Myers would disagree. Since joining Ohio State in 2008, his research has focused on the construction of various thin film materials—composed of layers that are each hundreds of times thinner than a single human hair—in order to discover novel material properties and applications. Using thin film material technology and solid state lighting techniques, Dr. Myers’ group created a novel method of producing ultraviolet (UV) light. Learn more.
