The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Alumni Board (ODEIAB) would like to invite you all to our Penn Alumni Weekend event on Friday, May 14 at 7 PM EST on Zoom. Join us for an evening of fun: reminisce about past days in ODEI (or the Office of Multicultural Programs), catch up with old […]
Abstract: The dynamic properties of glassy polymers are well-known to change up confinement to the nanoscale. Confinement to free-standing thin films leads to an enhancement in the segmental dynamics, and changes in the chain conformation lead to changes in the entanglement density in confined polymers. In this study, we investigate the role of both segmental […]
Micro- and nano-porous hierarchical materials exhibit extraordinary mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but manufacturing challenges prevent them from being fabricated at cm-length scales or larger while maintaining the dense regular nm features that enhance their properties. Using self-assembled particles as a template to fabricate metallic hierarchical structures is promising to overcome these challenges, but […]
Abstract: The field of heterogeneous catalysis has been prompted to shift toward designing catalysts that can perform beneficial chemistries at ambient conditions. Such materials should have high activity and stability and avoid issues prevalent in other traditional catalysts that are not earth-abundant, chemically efficient, or with high selectivity to carry out these reactions. In this […]

Many biological materials and organisms, such as bones and mollusks, possess the capability to heal and repair fractures at room temperature or at low homeostatic temperatures (∼ 20 ◦C – 40 ◦C). While this healing capability has inspired many advances in room-temperature self-healing polymers, metals have proven more difficult to heal at room temperature due […]
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Konrad Kording are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Titipat Achakulvisut. Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to improve scientific processes Scientific information has been growing exponentially over the past decades. Arguably, traditional processes of doing science cannot keep up with […]

Join the Penn LGBT Center for an intimate outdoor screening of the Oscar Award winning movie Moonlight. Bring a blanket and/or lawn chair for your seating […]
Abstract: Transition metal oxides are at the forefront of several applications in catalysis, energy conversion and storage, and are bound to play a pivotal role in our transition to a sustainable energy future. However, vast differences in the electronic structure among different transition metal oxides make them highly complex materials to understand and predict chemical […]

Fibrous network materials are ubiquitous both in nature and in synthetic materials, and therefore it is important to understand the general properties of the materials and the physics and microstructures on which those properties depend. Specifically, since fibrous networks generally perform a structural function, their mechanical properties are of critical importance. We discuss here certain […]
