Mechanical metamaterials are artificially designed structures that offer unique properties like negative Poisson’s ratio, tunable stiffness, and advanced thermal characteristics. While the static properties of mechanical metamaterials have been widely […]
Biopolymer hydrogel materials typically exhibit relatively low range of programmable modulus less than 100 kPa, which limits their biomedical applications, such as in articular cartilage and synthetic joints, where tissues […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Andrew Tsourkas proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Bian Jang. Title: Engineering Magnetic Devices and Nanoparticle Platforms to […]
Current propulsion and flight mechanisms limit atmospheric observations. The mesosphere is too dense for satellites and too thin for typical planes and balloons, with similar conditions found in the Martian […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Walter Witschey proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Beth Thompson. Title: Right ventricular remodeling in tetralogy of Fallot […]
Abstract: SBA-15, a type of mesoporous silica, is an attractive support for heterogeneous catalysts due to its high surface area, one-dimensional uniform pore structure, and high thermal stability. However, modifying […]
Abstract: How can we make new materials and better understand how their underlying structures form? The direct observation of crystal growth and transitions remains supremely challenging, but gaining insight into […]
CRISPR is a gene editing technique that allows researchers to quickly and precisely edit genome sequences. Beyond gene editing, CRISPR-Cas systems can be repurposed as a programmable platform for other […]
Abstract: For decades, we have built software by writing code, but in recent years machine learning has emerged as a new approach to create software with features that would be […]
Abstract: Precise control of structural parameters through nanoscale engineering to improve optical and electronic properties of functional nanomaterials continuously remains an outstanding challenge. Previous work on nanoparticle synthesis and assembly […]
