PolySciTech Year End In Review: Final Post of 2014.

This is the last post for PolySciTech (www.polyscitech.com) in 2014 as we will be closing down until January 5^th. Notable to the year 2014 have been the 20 publications which came out this year utilizing PolySciTech research products which is the highest number to date. As you enjoy your holiday break and contemplate your research plans for next year please peruse some of the following papers for inspiration. Happy Holidays:
