Paul J. Simmonds, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Tufts University, will present “Tensile-strained self-assembly: Nanoscale stretching for novel quantum light sources” as part of the Penn State Department of Materials Science and Engineering’s (MatSE) 590 seminar series. The talk will be held from 3:05 to 4:20 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, in 112 Kern Building on the University Park campus.
Sometimes, less really is more. By removing oxygen during synthesis, a team led by materials scientists at Penn State created seven new high-entropy oxides, or HEOs: a class of ceramics composed of five or more metals with potential for applications in energy storage, electronics and protective coatings.
Form will be open for signing-in on 10-28-2025 from 2:30 to 3:15 p.m.

Stop by for a treat!
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.
