The Institute of Energy and the Environment (IEE) has welcomed five new faculty members to its community. Their expertise spans artificial intelligence, water treatment, marine ecosystems, sustainable buildings and solar cell efficiency, strengthening IEE’s interdisciplinary approach to addressing complex challenges. By uniting diverse perspectives, IEE fosters collaborations that can address problems from multiple angles.
The entrepreneurship and innovation minor (ENTI) at Penn State introduced the energy transition cluster, focused on energy innovation, this semester focused.
Building on a legacy of excellence in glass science and engineering, the new Center for Glass Research (CGR) was recently launched at Penn State. It brings together the expertise of researchers from Penn State, Alfred University, and the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T) in a strategic collaborative initiative.
Materials Science and Engineering to host lecture on nanoscale stretching for novel quantum light sources through tensile-strained self-assembly
Materials Science and Engineering to host seminar on alloy innovation through additive manufacturing
Heating and cooling account for most of the energy used in homes and businesses, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Additionally, heat gain and loss through windows can waste up to 30% of the energy used to heat and cool a home. With this in mind, a research team at Penn State is exploring the development of smart windows that use a unique polymer to block sunlight. On the latest episode of “Growing Impact,” the team discusses how the material works and how these smart windows might change the way buildings are designed, built and operated.
Sarah Perry, professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Penn State, will present “Polyelectrolyte complex materials” as part of the Penn State Department of Materials Science and Engineering’s (MatSE) 590 Seminar series. The event will be held from 3:05 to 4:20 p.m. on Thursday, October 2 in 112 Kern Building on the University Park campus.
