The Earth’s mesosphere plays a crucial role in weather forecasting, environmental conservation, and planetary exploration. However, traditional unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as balloons or spacecraft face significant challenges when […]
Novel high-surface-area catalysts were synthesized for selected industrial chemical reactions, conducted in heterogeneous reactors and electrochemical reactors. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to synthesize highly dispersed metal catalysts […]
With the global population projected to reach 9.1 billion people by 2050 there is a need to develop highly efficient agricultural systems that maximize crop yield. Precision Agriculture (PA) systems […]
Imperfect but useful dynamical models have enabled significant progress in planning and controlling robotic locomotion and manipulation. Traditionally, these models have been physics-based, with accuracy relying upon manual calibration only […]
Numerous responsive materials have been developed in recent decades and applied toward engineering challenges ranging from medicine to robotics. For example, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), hydrogels, shape memory polymers (SMPs), liquid crystal […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Riccardo Gottardi are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Paul Gehret. Title: “Decellularized Cartilage for Airway Repair”. […]
A modular self-reconfigurable robot (MSRR) is a set of robotic building blocks that can be connected together in different ways. By rearranging these connections, the robot can adapt its shape […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Louis Soslowsky are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Joseph Newton. Title: Novel Applications of In Vivo […]
2D materials is a rapidly expanding class of materials that have captivated academia and industry with their ultrathin nature and remarkable properties. Graphene, the first discovered material, shows exceptional mechanical […]
Aneuploidy, a cancer hallmark, has intrigued researchers due to its near-universal presence in cancer. However, studying its impact is challenging due to the involvement of numerous genes and the difficulty […]
