An update on Penn Forward

An update on Penn Forward

To the University Community:With Penn Forward, we asked our community to think ambitiously and practically about how Penn can evolve for continued excellence—in the near term, through the next decade, and beyond. I am pleased to provide an update on our progress and the actions we are taking to build momentum.

Gravity follows Newton and Einstein’s rules, even at cosmic scales

The cosmic microwave background, the faint afterglow of the Big Bang that fills all of space, passes through massive galaxy clusters whose motion slightly alters the light, allowing scientists to measure how fast the clusters are moving toward one another and test how strongly gravity pulls across the largest distances in the universe.

A new swarm AI project takes on safety at scale

Researchers at Penn’s xLAB are collaborating on a multiyear project to study how large teams of physical AI agents can cooperate, compete, and act safely outside of software and in the real world.
