University of Pennsylvania pledges to bolster relations with India at "Penn India Engagement Forum" Penn In the News ANI News (India) University of Pennsylvania pledges to bolster relations with India at "Penn India Engagement Forum" PIK Professor Ezekiel J. Emanuel, Dean Erika H. James of the Wharton School, and Dean Vijay Kumar of the School of Engineering and Applied Science are quoted on the forum to support India's exceptional growth and specific health care needs. Tackling threat of mudslides in soaked California Penn In the News Associated Press Tackling threat of mudslides in soaked California Douglas Jerolmack of the School of Arts & Sciences says that debris basins can be costly, becoming overwhelmed by new landslides or mudslides that have been worsened by climate change.

Liquid crystals bring robotics to the microscale Penn In the News Physics World Liquid crystals bring robotics to the microscale In collaboration with the University of Ljubljana, Kathleen Stebe of the School of Engineering and Applied Science has built a swimming microrobot that paddles by rotating liquid crystal molecules. Drone swarm that 3D prints cement structures could construct buildings Penn In the News New Scientist Drone swarm that 3D prints cement structures could construct buildings Robert Stuart-Smith of the Weitzman School of Design and colleagues demonstrate how 3D-printing drones can create large structures made of foam or cement, paving the way for future construction efforts. Inspired by the human heart, Penn Engineers design tear-resistant soft material Using a 3D printer, Penn Engineering researchers are able to precisely control the alignment of glass fibers embedded within this stretchy silicone. The stripes represent regions with different fiber alignment patterns, and thus different levels of resistance to the tear making its way across the sample. (Image: Penn Engineering Today) Inspired by the human heart, Penn Engineers design tear-resistant soft material Engineers have designed a soft material for robotics, medical devices, and wearable technologies that are both tear-resistant and able to resist deformation. Music-making and the flow of aerosols Members of The Philadelphia Orchestra, including Carol Jantsch, principal tuba player, took part in a study led by Penn scientists Paulo Arratia and Douglas Jerolmack. Their investigation examined the aerosols professional musicians generate as they play. (Image: Courtesy of Paulo Arratia) Music-making and the flow of aerosols If simply breathing can spread the SARS-CoV-2 virus to others nearby, what about blowing into a tuba? Researchers from the School of Engineering the School of Arts & Sciences used fluid mechanics to study the movement of aerosols generated by musicians. Center for Engineering Mechanobiology 2.0: Developing ‘mechanointelligence’ The dynamics governing mechanointelligence vary greatly along time- and length-scales, so detailed models of individual cells and their components are necessary to connect the effects of their physical environments to the downstream effects those forces have on biological processes.
