Penn State MatSE External Advisory Board Member Titi Shodiya ‘10 and Zakiya Whatley say their bi-monthly show "Dope Labs" isn't your typical science podcast. That's because they are not your typical scientists.

As part of the Campus Arts Initiative (Campus Arts), a project of Penn State’s Strategic Planning Seed Grant program, Encoded Objects has been paired with the Materials Research Institute from which they will take inspiration for the artwork.
Penn State researchers are developing 3D-printed building technology that could be used for NASA’s space exploration projects and impact the future of housing on Earth.
Proof that a new ability to grow thin films of an important class of materials called complex oxides will, for the first time, make these materials commercially feasible, according to Penn State materials scientists.
Eleventh Annual Materials Visualization Competition 2019
MVC is a scientific, visual, and artistic competition sponsored by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) and the Materials Research Institute (MRI). Through the creativity and visualization of our researchers, MVC celebrates the quality of research in materials at Penn State and promotes awareness of materials science. Entry is open to all Penn State undergraduates, graduates, post-docs, and faculty working on materials-related topics.
Competition is open during the spring semester and submissions can be entered in one of three categories: scientific, visual, and computation. All submitted images are judged by a panel defined by MatSE and MRI. After deliberation, the panel chooses the top three entries for each category and one image that represents the Best of Show.
A technique that introduces carbon-hydrogen molecules into a single atomic layer of the semiconducting material tungsten disulfide dramatically changes the electronic properties of the material, according to Penn State researchers at Penn State who say they can create new types of components for energy-efficient photoelectric devices and electronic circuits with this material.
