This week we profiled Deborah Jin and the Fermionic Condensate. Dr. Deborah Jin is an American physicist and was among the first to study the Bose-Einstein condensate. Dr. Jin and team created the first fermionic condensate, a new form of matter. Unlike a Bose-Einstein condensate, a fermionic condensate contains fermions over bosons. This characterizes […]

Weekly Wrap Up (April 22, 2016)
With Lasers For Manufacturing Event (LME®) right around the corner, laser manufacturing is at the forefront of our minds. This week, we took a closer look at the use of lasers for manufacturing and lumber processing. The use of lasers in lumber processing is expansive, with applications in cutting, marking, engraving, and drilling holes. Lasers […]
