Aeroseal on a Hiring Surge (story from Dayton Business Journal)
Aeroseal, a Miamisburg company that has licensed a Berkeley Lab's duct-sealing technology developed by Mark Modera and Duo Wang, is continuing its hiring surge. With clients in 50 states and more than two dozen countries, the company increased its headcount by more than 60% last year and plans to create about 47 new jobs this year to accommodate a surge in global … [Read more...] about Aeroseal on a Hiring Surge (story from Dayton Business Journal)
Infant-Warming Device Proven Safe and Effective
A recent study found that an infant-warming device developed at Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley is safe and effective at lowering newborn mortality rates associated with hypothermia. The device contains phase-change material, which can absorb and release large amounts of thermal energy or heat. Read about the study here. … [Read more...] about Infant-Warming Device Proven Safe and Effective
