Special biomedical materials that can be injected as a liquid and turn into a solid inside our bodies — called thermogels — could provide a less-invasive way to deliver drugs or treat wounds. Scientists at Penn State have developed a new design for these materials that further improves their properties and may hold particular promise for use in tissue regeneration, the researchers said.

A team of Penn State researchers used a new 3D-printing method to produce a complex metal build that was once only possible with welding: fusing two metals together into a single structure.
As one of the founding members of Penn State’s Silicon Carbide Innovation Alliance (SCIA), Mesta Electronics works with SCIA to grow silicon carbide crystals for semiconductors, which requires a stable, precise power source to heat a specialized furnace to extreme temperatures. To meet this need, Mesta Electronics LLC has donated two Mesta 50kW Induction Heating Power Supplies.
