Modeling what happens under a microscope
A group from Mississippi State University and Oak Ridge National Lab investigated the growth of dendrites using two different models. M. A. Zaeem, H. Yin, and S. D. Felicelli compared both a Cellular Automaton Model and a Phase-Field Model, together with a Finite-Element Model, to model dendritic growth in an aluminum and magnesium alloy. This won them one of the Best Poster awards, as judged by two of the members of the Program Committee.

Heat Transfer also plays a part in lab on chip
The Program Committee actually has quite a bit of work to do in a COMSOL Conference. Not only are they required to review papers that touch on their area of expertise, but for most of them who attend, they are also Session Chairs. As our experts, it is their duty to judge the best papers.

Hi,
Now it’s really buzzing around the COMSOL office in Burlington. Quite a number of our colleagues from the Palo Alto and Los Angeles offices have shown up to help out with the preparations. Soon, a whole gang of them will be off to the hotel to get everything ready, the registration desks, the demo stations, putting up all the posters, the auditoriums….

"Create the Future" Design Contest (www.createthefuture2011.com) sponsored by PTC® (www.ptc.com), COMSOL (www.comsol.com), and Tech Briefs Media attracts over 900 innovative product ideas from engineers and students in 50 countries.
New York, NY – A new invention could protect millions from contracting food-borne illnesses. The αScreen is a portable, rapid pathogen screener that could allow screening of up to 100% of food produced in processing plants, before it is delivered to the consumer. αScreen is highly accurate, can detect as low as a single bacteria, and is approximately 50 times less expensive than the established, currently used detection methods.

Hi there,
Just looking through the Proceedings CD, I say that there are so many different topics and areas of research that it must be a daunting task to review them all. But through the diligent effort of the Program Chair, Yeswanth, he was able to get twenty experts within different areas to become members of the Program Committee. In fact, almost everyone he asked was willing to participate.
