Description:... The plans for an international space station, long distance space travel (perhaps to Mars), and the potential for commercial production of ultra pure silicon or polymer crystals are what make these topics of current relevance. The program includes topics such as transport in biological systems (relevant to bone loss associated with long-duration space travel), acoustic levitation, electromagnetic phenomena, crystal growth, protein crystallization, and boiling.
