‘Atoms, ja, atoms!': Physics pioneer key to microscopy ‘revolution in resolution’
Penn State commemorates 70 years since faculty member Erwin Müller became the first person to ‘see’ atoms
By Katie Yan
Seventy years ago, in Osmond Laboratory on Penn State’s University Park campus, Erwin W. Müller, Evan Pugh Research Professor of Physics, became the first person to “see” an atom. In doing so, Müller cemented his legacy, not only at Penn State, but also as a pioneer in the world of physics and beyond.
$3M grant seeks bioprinted solution for reconstructive surgery’s blood problem
By Jamie Oberdick
When patients undergo reconstructive surgery for devastating injuries, one of the biggest obstacles surgeons face is restoring blood supply to the repaired tissue. Without a functioning vascular system, new grafts cannot survive. With a new $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at Penn State are taking on this challenge by combining advanced 3D bioprinting with a novel surgical method, known as micropuncture.
