From the U.N. climate conference, advice for Philly as it adapts to global warming Penn In the News Philadelphia Inquirer From the U.N. climate conference, advice for Philly as it adapts to global warming A delegation of Penn students, researchers, and faculty who attended the COP27 climate conference offer their ideas for how Philadelphia officials can work to make the goals of the Paris Agreement a reality. The smell of food affects metabolism in fasting mice Penn In the News The Scientist The smell of food affects metabolism in fasting mice Minhong Ma of the Perelman School of Medicine says that a Japanese study on food odors offers new insights into metabolic adaptation. Novel ‘tunneling’ design for energy-efficient chips Novel ‘tunneling’ design for energy-efficient chips Experts have been experimenting with field-effect transistor technology (FET) for decades, but have been hindered by insurmountable tradeoffs in power and performance. Penn engineers have redesigned FETs with energy efficiency in mind.

Where does charcoal come from—and is it sustainable? Penn researchers say that there are more sustainable alternatives to eucalyptus plantation and charcoal production sites like this one in Kyegaliro, Uganda. (Image: Courtesy of Catherine Nabukalu). Where does charcoal come from—and is it sustainable? Charcoal energizes everything from backyard barbecues to industrial metallurgy, but its environmental impact is worse than once thought. Research from the School of Arts & Sciences finds that policy changes could make charcoal more sustainable. The state with too many campuses Penn In the News Chronicle of Higher Education The state with too many campuses Joni Finney of the Graduate School of Education says that Pennsylvania’s fierce competition for students stems from its large private higher education sector and declining numbers of Pennsylvanians.
