Bringing Research Lab Innovations to Your Toilet: The Story of spotLESS Materials
Birgitt Boschitsch is the co-founder and CEO of spotLESS Materials, an advanced materials company and Penn State spinoff commercializing highly repellent anti-fouling coatings.
‘Patchy’ thermogels show next-gen biomedical material potential, scientists say
By Matthew Carroll
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.
Beyond welding: Researchers 3D print two metals in single complex structure
By Mariah Lucas
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.
