Utilizing 3D Chip Models to Revolutionize our Understanding of the Brain

The brain is one of the most convoluted structures to ever exist—a fascinating enigma. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology were one step closer to understanding the complex structure of the brain. YongTae Kim and Allan I. Levey MacDonald were able to engineer a model of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) utilizing computer chips.  What is the Blood Brain Barrier? According to the researchers … Continue reading Utilizing 3D Chip Models to Revolutionize our Understanding of the Brain

Aerosol 101: The Introduction of Aerosol and Its Measurements

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the aerosol produced by breaking ocean waves. Aerosol is a general term for the liquid or particles suspended in gas. Under this umbrella term, sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the aerosol produced by breaking ocean waves. Among many other aerosols such as fog and dust, SSA is a main target of current atmospheric chemistry research because it is a major … Continue reading Aerosol 101: The Introduction of Aerosol and Its Measurements
