Cincinnati area bank introduces world's first solar powered drive-thru
Lebanon Citizens National Bank has partnered with E.F. Bavis & Associates, Inc., to create the world's first solar powered drive-thru in the banking and pharmaceutical industries, reports Soapbox. E.F. Bavis & Associates says that the drive-thru is powered by a 26-inch by 40-inch solar panel that is designed specifically for Ohio sunlight conditions and will charge a 12-volt battery. The battery will then be used to power the drive-thru's non-pneumatic delivery system which uses "an intelligent sensor monitored, positive-drive conveyor tape delivery system engineered to use less than one-tenth the normal amount of electricity required by normal pneumatic tube delivery systems."

Ohio State University scientists move cells with joystick
Biomedical research could someday look a lot like playing video games, thanks to an Ohio State University team that has figured out how to manipulate cells with the swerve of a joystick, reports LiveScience.com.
The team at OSU put the device through its paces with magnetically-tagged T-cells, the body's guardians against infection. They snapped the cells to attention at one end of the chip, marched them down to the other end, and made them hop from one wire to another, reaching speeds of about 20 microns, or about a one-fifth the width of a human hair, per second.

Innovative farmers tap radishes as fertilizer tool
Some Ohioans are finding white radishes to be just what the farmer ordered in softening fields and returning nutrients to the soil for later planting, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer.
With taproots that can grow several feet deep, the carrot-shaped tillage or forage radishes bore holes into the ground, loosening the soil. The radishes capture, store and then release nutrients back into the soil, so they also can reduce the need for fertilizer in the spring.

The �Gray Lady� Loves Ohio's Lake City
A writer for the New York Times had nothing but high praise for Cleveland in a recently published Travel Section article. The subject of the recurring "36 Hours in�" feature, Ohio's north coast metropolis scored big in areas of art, music, dining and entertainment."A fiercely blue-collar ethos endures," writes Brett Sokol. "But instead of abandoning the city, local entrepreneurs and bohemian dreamers alike are sinking roots; opening a wave of funky boutiques, offbeat art galleries and sophisticated restaurants; and injecting fresh life into previously rusted-out spaces."
