Many modern humanoid robots are designed to operate in human environments, like homes and hospitals. Such robots could help humans accomplish tasks and lower their physical and/or mental workload. However, […]
The ultimate promise of robotics is to design devices that can physically interact with the world. To date, robots have been primarily deployed in highly structured and predictable environments. However, […]
Spin-lattice dynamics (SLD), an increasingly popular simulation method which simultaneously computes both atomic displacements and spins, offer new possibilities for modeling the temporal evolution of systems where the coupling between […]
Nanoparticle assemblies (NPAs) have attracted tremendous interests of various research communities. The particle-size-effect on mechanical properties of NPAs is systematically studied. With decreasing the particle size d from 300 nm […]
The standard of care for augmenting surgical bone repair or regeneration remains bone graft harvested from the patient despite a lack of sufficient quantity or quality of graft in many […]

Small-scale robotic systems have emerged as promising tools to perform a wide-range of tasks in microbiology and medicine such as targeted delivery, cell manipulation, environmental monitoring, and microassembly. In order […]
Older adults are forming a much larger percentage of the population leading to a strain in the healthcare sector. It is expected that the population aged 65 and over in […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Dani Bassett are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Andrew Murphy. The public is welcome to attend.
