Did you know that the Zetasizer Ultra permits accurate and rapid measurements of particle concentration using Multi-Angle Dynamic Light Scattering? It can also measure molecular weight using Static Light Scattering in addition to molecular size and charge with as little as a few microliters of sample. Learn more… Read More

Vanderbilt engineers and American soldiers have partnered to make service members invisible on the modern battlefield. A team lead by VINSE Deputy Director, Jason Valentine, is designing innovative equipment that reduces soldiers’ detectability by thermal sensors, increasing their safety and operational effectiveness. Support for Vanderbilt’s Dare to Grow… Read More
