RTNN hosts XRD Symposium

Malvern PANalytical and the RTNN hosted a “Non-ambient X-ray Diffraction (XRD)” workshop at NC State November 8-9. The event brought together 48 attendees from 17 different universities and organizations to explore the research potential of non-ambient diffraction and practical advice for collecting accurate and useful data. On the evening of November 8, attendees learned more about on-going research during a poster session.

CEINT Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Applications Now Available

The Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (CEINT), an RTNN member facility, will host a 10-week, NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program during the summer of 2016. Research projects will focus on the environmental impact of nanotechnology as it relates to a one or more of the following engineering and science disciplines: biomedical engineering, materials science, biology, chemistry, ecotoxicology, geosciences, and civil & environmental engineering.

The deadline for applications is February 28, 2016. The program will run May 30 – July 29, 2016.
