Plasma is the fourth state of matter. Many places teach that there are three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas, but there are actually four. The fourth is plasma. To put it very simply, a plasma is an ionized gas, a gas into which sufficient energy is provided to free electrons from atoms or molecules and to allow both species, ions and electrons, to coexist.

Organization: The Pennsylvania State University
Location: USA
Deadline: 04-01-11
Description:
The Penn State BioNEMS Group is inviting the most motivated, talented students to join us in using micro/nano technology to find innovative solutions to solve the world’s challenging problems. The BioNEMS group conducts research at the interface of engineering, biology, physics, and materials. Our research focuses on multi-physics of micro/nano systems. Currently, we have two research directions:
1) multi-physics of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip systems.
2) multi-physics of active nanostructures. Our team consists of exceptional students and researchers with passion to excel.
Since BioNEMS was founded in 2005, we have made the following remarkable achievements:
1) We have published 53 journal articles and 43 conference papers and filed nine US patent applications in five years.
2) Eleven of our journal articles have been featured as cover images at the journals Advanced Materials, Applied Physics Letters, Journal of Physical Chemistry C, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, and Lab on a Chip.
3) Our results have been reported as news stories at the journals Nature, Nature Photonics, and Nature Materials.
4) The technologies invented by us have been highlighted at National Science Foundation of USA and more than 200 public media such as US News and World Report, Yahoo News, Science Daily, Wired Science, Live Science, Medical News Today, Bio-Medicine, Highlights in Chemical Technology, R&D Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Nanotechnology Now, Materials Today, Physics World, photonics.com, and optics.org.
5) Our graduate students have been selected to receive more than 40 awards (from university level to international level) for their research accomplishments.
Master Scholarships in Biomedical Engineering: In this Master’sknowledge and skills in all fields in BME will be given, so when you finished the Master’s programme, you can be employed as generalist, and you will also be specialised in one particular field of BME; as a student, you are able to select any field within BME.
You will be trained to work in interdisciplinary project teams, composed of engineers and medical specialists.
A BSc in Biomedical, chemical, electronical or mechanical engineering, or applied physics.In detail the Bachelor program must demonstrate that the following criteria are attained:
Basic knowledge and understanding of mathematics, physics, chemistry
Lecture 2 – Philosophy of Modeling
Lecture 4 – Equations of Motion I
Lecture 5 – Equations of Motion II
Lecture 6 – Modeling Muscle Properties
Lecture 8 – Static Optimization
