Marija Drndić, a professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy in the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences has been awarded a two-year, $880,000 grant for a project aimed at reducing the cost and time of genome sequencing.
Penn Physics/Medicine Receives $2.8 Million Grant for Stroke Research
The National Institutes of Health have awarded University of Pennsylvania researchers a five-year, $2.8 million grant to further research on techniques for monitoring blood flow in the brain following strokes.
Penn Robotic Soccer Team Reigns Supreme
The University of Pennsylvania’s robotic soccer team now has another world championship trophy to add to its collection.
Toyota-ITC Gift Will Support Penn Research on Automotive Electronic and Computer Systems
The University of Pennsylvania's PRECISE Center has received a substantial financial gift from the Toyota InfoTechnology Center. Toyota-ITC is interested in promoting the PRECISE Center's efforts on safety algorithms for self-driving cars, remote automotive diagnostics, resilient control of a
xLAB designs next-generation immersive experiences
With processing power and internet connectivity increasing, people don’t just learn how to use the latest in technology—that technology actually learns right back.
Penn Study: Understanding Graphene’s Electrical Properties on an Atomic Level
Graphene, a material that consists of a lattice of carbon atoms, one atom thick, is widely touted as being the most electrically conductive material ever studied. However, not all graphene is the same. With so few atoms comprising the entirety of the material, the arrangement of each one has an impact on its overall function.
Penn to Lead $22.5 Million Project on Restoring Memory Loss
A team of scientists and physicians at the University of Pennsylvania will lead a four-year effort worth as much as $22.5 million to develop next-generation technologies to restore memory function in people who suffer from memory loss due to disease or traumatic injury.
UTRC gift establishes robotics fellowship at University of Pennsylvania
United Technologies Research Center, the research and innovation arm of United Technologies Corp., has given $250,000 gift to the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science to establish a fellowship in robotics.
Penn Researchers: Consider the ‘Anticrystal’
For the last century, the concept of crystals has been a mainstay of solid-state physics. Crystals are paragons of order; crystalline materials are defined by the repeating patterns their constituent atoms and molecules make.
Penn Research Lends New Insights on Conditions for New Blood Vessel Formation
Angiogenesis, the sprouting of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones, is essential to the body’s development. As organs grow, vascular networks must grow with them to feed new cells and remove their waste. The same process, however, also plays a critical role in the onset and progression of many cancers, as it allows the rapid growth of tumors.
