A team of researchers have observed and reported for the first time the unique microstructure of a novel ferroelectric material, enabling the development of lead-free piezoelectric materials for electronics, sensors, and energy storage that are safer for human use.
Penn State researcher was recognized as 'Rising Star' for the work
Penn State researchers used micro- and nanoparticles created from the organic materials to capture rare earth elements from aqueous solutions.
Peripheral nerves are responsible for moving muscles, sensing temperatures and even inhaling and exhaling; yet they comprise fragile fibers vulnerable to disease and injury.
