 CORPORATE PARTNER NEWS
| Lake Shore White Paper Clears Up Common Measurement Mistakes |
 |
Even researchers who are experienced in electronic device measurement sometimes do not get the results they expect. Lake Shore Cryotronics has released a new white paper, “5 Electronic Measurement Pitfalls You Learned About in School But Probably Forgot.” This resource addresses several common, yet often overlooked, pitfalls to avoid, helping researchers prevent voltage errors, current leakage, source-related noise, and other common scenarios. |
Lake Shore has a long history of improving simplicity and accuracy in material and device characterization. The company will soon release its Model 155 low-noise, precision current/voltage source, the first in its new MeasureReady™ line of intuitive instruments. Visit www.lakeshore.com for more info.

SCIENCE AS ART
The Fuzzy Mediators
Kara Spiller, Drexel University
Description: Scanning electron micrograph of two innate immune cells, called macrophages, on a scaffold made of lyophilized type 1 collagen, crosslinked with liquid formaldehyde. Macrophage protrusion is visualized reaching for another part of the collagen scaffold. SEM details: Sputter-coated with gold/platinum, 10.0kV, 5000x, spot size 4.0, working distance of 9.1mm, high vacuum mode, cells are approximately 10 microns in diameter. Image captured by PhD Student Claire E. Witherel.

EDITOR'S CHOICE VIDEO
Bruce Clemens on materials energy and technology
MRS Bulletin Material Matters
“You’re putting more and more constraints on these materials and that limits your selection. That doesn’t mean there aren’t good ones out there.”
MRS Bulletin’s Anke Weidenkaff, from the University of Stuttgart, talks with Bruce Clemens, Walter B. Reinhold Professor in the School of Engineering at Stanford University. In the area of solar cells, Clemens talks about technology and materials design, and about the hydrogen society. Clemens is an MRS Fellow and former president of the Materials Research Society (2012).
