The Eberly College of Science is committed to supporting our researchers in translating their research for society. Translation is an early part of technology transfer where scientific discoveries are ...
A new approach to gene editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 system bypasses disease-causing mutations in a gene, enabling treatment of genetic diseases linked to a single gene, such as cystic fibrosis, ...
The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including how they are spinning. One of the most accurate systems for high performance ...
Amie Boal, professor of chemistry and of biochemistry and molecular biology, has been named the Nicholas and Gelsa Pelick Family Chair in Science. The purpose of the endowed faculty chair is to ...
The motion of particles in a classical gas is famously chaotic. A simple and common consequence of this chaos is that an enclosed gas equilibrates to a single temperature, which is why letting cold ...
Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton — including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs — was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support ...
Professor Emeritus Michael Brin of the University of Maryland has endowed an international prize for outstanding work in the theory of dynamical systems and related areas. The prize is given for ...
About 65 miles away from Penn State’s University Park campus, one alumnus has quietly impacted the academic careers of over 128 students in the Eberly College of Science since 2014, and many more at ...
