There are many forms of energy around us: light, heat, vibrations, wind, electromagnetic fields, fluid flow, waves, organic waste, etc. At large scale, many of these energy sources already play a significant role in powering our society and are projected to become dominant contributors by 2040. On the smaller scale, exciting scientific and engineering challenges must be overcome to harness these energy sources.
As we begin the New Year we’ll take a moment to celebrate some recent accomplishments and look towards the future: winners of the 2017 Rustum and Della Roy Awards will be announced, new faculty will be highlighted, and I’ll provide an update on some MRI strategic initiatives.
As Philadelphia’s first zero-waste certified business, we have earned gold status by diverting at least 90% of the material from our business from becoming landfill waste by creating recycled glass products through various glass making techniques. We are looking forward to partnering with Penn State to enhance possibilities for glass recycling.
Not only is the MCL on the cutting edge with respect to equipment and expertise, but perhaps equally important is the team's ability to understand and respond to the unique needs of industry.
World-class experts combined with unique capabilities make MRI one of Corning's go-to collaborators in our continued mission to drive materials innovation.
The new agreement with Penn State seamlessly aligns our goal of establishing Morgan as a key player in the silicon carbide market — we are not only advancing our own graphite competencies but also contributing to the development of high-value products in the market.
We were really small, only 25 employees at the time, and so we really needed to partner with some experts in the material science world to understand our new, disruptive technology, we were introduced to the Penn State Materials Characterization Lab (MCL) and they helped us be able to characterize the unique aspects of this surface technology.
