MIC researchers escape gravity
Three researchers from IPRT's Microanalytical Instrumentation Center recently flew on NASA's KC-135 reduced-gravity aircraft to test a new system for determining levels of treatment chemicals in water. It's part of an effort to develop novel instrumentation for monitoring the quality of spacecraft drinking water.

Laboratory science and technology contributing to environmental mission
With the end of the Cold War and the nonproliferation treaties that followed, the United States was faced with a new challenge arising from its nuclear armament efforts: dealing with a legacy of radioactive waste and contaminated areas at sites formerly used for nuclear research, development, production and testing.
