Catch the Wave Volume 3 – Rotators

The third installment in our “waves” series is here!

We hope that you are caught up with our newsfeed! If not, we recommend starting with the first and second articles in this series. Our first article focused on the WaveNow and the second article provides a history of our older CBP bipotentiostat, to a more modern WaveDriver bipotentiostat. In this final installment, we share another history with you. Here we will focus on electrode rotators and their history and evolution at Pine Research.

How Do Researchers Study Corrosion Via Electrochemistry?

In advance of the NACE 2018 Corrosion Conference and Expo April 15 – 19, 2018 in Phoenix, AZ, we thought we would highlight some of the ways researchers study pipeline corrosion via electrochemical techniques. Electrochemistry plays a vital role in this field of study because it allows what was historically a cumbersome, expensive, and materials-intensive process to be simplified and dramatically downsized to laboratory-scale experiments.

Corrosion of commercial pipelines is a persistent issue that has resulted in significant research efforts from universities and oil/energy companies alike

Fast-Scan Cyclic Voltemmtery of Adenosine – Challenging Research by the Venton Lab

Today we feature the lab of Dr. Jill Venton, Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia. Dr. Venton is also affiliated with the Neuroscience Graduate Program and the UVA Brain Institute. Dr. Venton earned her Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, under the direction of Dr. Mark Wightman. Following a post-doctoral research position at the University of Michigan under Dr. Robert Kennedy, Dr. Venton established her research career at the University of Virginia.

From the University of Virginia (Charlottesville, VA USA), the Venton Group takes a break from research to smile at the camera. Front, left to right: Yuanyu Chang, Jason Borgus, Scott Lee, Ying Wang. Back, left to right: Dr. Jill Venton, Dr. Malli Ganesana, Pumidech (Max) Puthongkham, Qun Cao, Dr. Jeff Copeland, Dr. Mimi Shin.

Electrochemical Education for our Food, Energy, and Water Challenges

The theme of the 255^th ACS National Meeting is Nexus of Food, Energy & Water: Adapting to Future Challenges. The Sunday opening session speakers include leading experts in renewable energy, water treatment, and smart agriculture. It is likely these talks will present many challenges we face in society and how chemistry can provide solutions to these problems. The talks may also enlighten some chemistry and engineering students in high school, undergraduate, and graduate school to pursue research careers. Today’s younger generation are tomorrow’s research leaders. A thorough chemical education is necessary for our students to solve the challenges that await them. One area of chemical education that has been lacking in most academic institutions is electrochemistry. Concerning our challenges in food, energy, & water, electrochemistry plays an important role in all of those topics.

Hashemi Lab Award-Winning Research Honored at Pittcon

According to the NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, translation is the process of turning observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public — from diagnostics and therapeutics to medical procedures and behavioral changes¹. Some of the most successful translational science has stemmed from multi-disciplinary research collaborations. Consider sensor technology, which draws from the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, medicine, public health, engineering, environmental science, and more. Researchers often employ electrochemistry in their sensor design due to the analytical strength and sensitivity of electrochemical measurements. The exciting research from the Parry Hashemi lab at the University of South Carolina provides an excellent example of translational science at work.
