Dipanjan Pan and his team developed a new approach capable of differentiating active HIV infection from false positives — which could potentially accelerate vaccine development and testing.
The Quantum Hub, housed under the Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS), has awarded Quantum SuperSEED grants to three Penn State faculty research teams
Six materials researchers at Penn State have received the 2025 Rustum and Della Roy Innovation in Materials Research Award, recognizing a wide range of research with societal impact.
Penn State had a strong showing at the Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) technical meeting and exhibition annual conference with current students and graduates in MatSE earning accolades.
With federal agencies rolling out nearly $1 billion for critical minerals and materials (CMM) development, a convening last week at Penn State University Park brought together about 100 scholars, industry representatives and government experts with a central goal: cooperation.
A new class of ceramics are not only transparent, but they can control light with exceptional efficiency— better than any theories predicted. Now, an advanced theory put forth by researcher at Penn State may explain why this material is so good at light control.
Q&A on materials called chalcogenides with postdoc Qihua “David” Zhang’ in the 2DCC laboratory of Stephanie Law. Zhang recently earned the 2025 American Vacuum Society’s Thin Film Division Distinguished Technologist Award for his contributions to growing these materials with extreme purity and precision.
Penn State researchers have developed a new AI framework with potential implications for fields ranging from Alzheimer’s disease research to advanced materials design. The approach teaches AI models to recognize and adapt to hidden differences in data quality rather than ignoring them.
Vitro Architectural Glass has signed a multi-year research agreement to scale up LionGlass, a new, patent-pending glass technology invented at Penn State, for use in flat glass applications across architectural and automotive markets.
Professor Dipanjan Pan, the Dorothy Foehr Huck & J. Lloyd Chair Professor in Nanomedicine at Penn State has been named a 2025 fellow of the National Academy of Inventors.
