Thanks, to a $213,500 three-year research award from the National Science Foundation, four undergrad PLU students spent 10 weeks this past summer participating in intensive lab research. “The first week or two of working in the lab was very stressful. I, like my coworkers, lacked…
the NSF grant and a recent partnership with the University of Washington, Waldow’s polymer experiments are being used to create organic transistors based on polymers. While batteries store energy, transistors control the flow of and amplify electric currents. They are crucial elements of nearly all modern electronics. Waldow and his team hope to find ways to improve organic transistors for possible use in biological and medical applications. “What’s really satisfying is to see students realize
