A stretchable system that can harvest energy from human breathing and motion for use in wearable health-monitoring devices may be possible.

Fibrous proteins such as collagen and fibrinogen form a thin solid layer on the surface of an aqueous solution, could lead to more efficient bioprinting and tissue engineering.

A desalination membrane acts as a filter for salty water: Push the water through the membrane, get clean water suitable for agriculture, energy production and even drinking.

Reactive molecules, such as free radicals, can be produced in the body after exposure to certain environments or substances and go on to cause cell damage.

Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space exploration.

A team of Penn State engineers are looking at lithium iron phosphate batteries that have a range of 250 miles with the ability to charge in 10 minutes.

A new kind of wearable health device would deliver real-time medical data to those with eye or mouth diseases.

Two-dimensional materials can be used to create smaller, high-performance transistors traditionally made of silicon.

Through the power of additive manufacturing, these materials could be widely used in defense-related applications, including personal armor and armored vehicles

Female-led team in the Penn State Department of Mechanical Engineering seeks to reimagine gas turbine engines within hybrid electric propulsion systems to decrease the carbon footprint of aviation
