Podcast by Chris Ehrhardt and Josh Blake

By Christian Menza, Andy Hendry, and Bryan Sherrill This week on Lafayette Lumberjacks, we talk about additive manufacturing, specifically 3D printing. We talk to Christian “Jebediah” Menza, the leading expert on the assembly of the 3D printer and how it can be improved. Next, we interview Andy “Sweet Cheeks” Hendry who will talk about the … Continue reading Additive Manufacturing →

By Rachel Tenney, Ingrid Rumbaugh and Addy Mehta This podcast focuses on the applications of micromechanical surgery, how it is being used today, and how it could be used in the future. The possible implications of nanotechnology, especially in surgery, including advantages, disadvantages, and ethical concerns are a focal point in this discussion.  

A diagram depicting how gold nanoparticles interact with cancer cells. Canadian Citizen Walter White goes to the doctor to learn that he has lung cancer. Fortunately, due to advances in nanotechnology, there are multiple treatments available to him which are presented by a team of oncologists. These doctors are Dr. Luz Pineda, Dr. Andrew Ortiz, … Continue reading Nanotechnology Used in Cancer Therapy →

Thomas Williams and San Ha Lee: Out of Ink: Episode 1: Pilot – In this inaugural episode of Out of Ink, we explore 3D printing at home, and the issues, as well as the benefits it can have. Just incase we have new listeners we outline the general process of additive manufacturing as a whole, … Continue reading Out of Ink – Ep. 1: Pilot →

By Alexander Zhang and Nicholas Szczygiel Today we will be discussing Microelectromechanical Systems, or MEMS. We will start with a brief overview of MEMS, defining what they are and briefly explaining their purpose in today’s economy. Then, we will explain the processes that manufacturers use to produce MEMS: IC Fabrication, Bulk Micromachining/Wafer Bonding, Surface Micromachining, … Continue reading An Overview of MEMS Manufacturing and Applications →

Group Members: Erich Victor, Violet Guo Today we will be discussing Chemical Analytics through micro and nanofluidics. To start off we’ll discuss the origins of microfluidic technology and how the process of chemical analysis was moved from a costly lab process to a fast and inexpensive method than can be done in the palm of … Continue reading Chemical Analytics Through Micro and Nanofluidics →

Micro Fluidic Point-Of-Care Diagnostics Group Members: Tom Pregel, Mike Kaplan, Jake Levy On today’s edition of nano tech, our host Mike talks about Micro Fluidic Point-of-Care devices and interviews a local CVS representative.  A POC device stands for Point-of-Care device, like a pregnancy test, that does not require the need of a laboratory or medical … Continue reading Micro Fluidic Point-Of-Care Diagnostics →

By Makena Murugu, Ryan Cope, and Camil Mikiej On today’s edition of Today in Technology, our host Bob interviews our guest, Dr. Doolittle, on her fascinating research in cancer therapy by using nanotechnology to implement new strategies, such as increased accuracy in drug delivery, which will potentially eliminate chemotherapy. Dr. Doolittle unveils why this new form … Continue reading Today in Technology: Nanotechnologies for Cancer Therapy →
