Penn State scientists to lead three Genesis Mission projects
University also partnering on first Phase II award
Paintable electrodes could power creative and colorful wearable sensors
By Ty Tkacik
Engineers at Penn State are blending art and science to create cute, paint-on tattoos that could help spot heart attacks early, power robotic prosthetics and read brain waves — all within a colorful, customizable system that can be easily washed away or reapplied.
Quantum material opens new path for studying unusual electronic behavior
By Ty Tkacik
By combining approaches from two rapidly growing fields of quantum physics, researchers at Penn State and Saint Louis University have demonstrated a novel specialized material can naturally enable a new way to study unusual physical phenomena known as non-Hermitian dynamics.
‘Designer’ superconducting diamond offers roadmap to multifunction quantum chips
Discovering the physical principles of superconductivity in diamond opens the door for new quantum technologies, scientists report
Diamond is extremely valuable to science and technology not for its sparkle but for its extreme hardness, ability to transfer heat, transparency to a large fraction of the light spectrum and a host of other exceptional properties. Two decades ago, scientists discovered another advantage: under the right conditions, diamond can become a superconductor — allowing electricity to flow through it with zero resistance.
