  - Intel 65-nm process leaves no room for tiniest particles
    Intel Corp.'s (www.intel.com) recent breakthrough achievement of fully functional 70-Mbit static random access memory (SRAM) chips on a 65-nanometer (nm) manufacturing process makes the contamination control playing surface smaller and more critical than ever.
  - UV-based purification technology promises total bacteria knock-out
    An ultraviolet-based air purification system that kills deadly microorganisms at first contact is making its way into biotech cleanrooms.
  - Entegris executive chairs Fuel Cell Council committee
    John Goodman, president of Entegris' (www.entegris.com) fuel cell market segment, has been elected to a one-year term as the U.S. Fuel Cell Council (USFCC) policy committee chair.
  - Filtration society focus shifts to users
    Having previously served a broad base of the filtration and fluid-particle separation market, the American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) has decided its focus should now be on specifiers, buyers and users of filters and filtration equipment.
