The revelation that substrates can play an active role in semiconductor processes is significant for designing future materials and devices, said study lead Venkatraman Gopalan, professor of MatSE @ Penn State and of physics at Penn State.  psu.edu/news/materials…

GeoGraphics Lab Penn State Geography unboxing of Kenneth Field's very cool eclipse map. This one will join the snowflake map as two outstanding sources of inspiration for students in the lab. Thanks, Ken!

Researchers at Penn State have developed a technique that merges satellite data with weather forecast models. This innovation significantly sharpens the accuracy of predictions for storm intensity and wind locations. buff.ly/4cNcsgf PSU Meteorology @psuresearch

The annual competition challenges teams to present novel ideas about contemporary subjects in the petroleum and energy industry, with this year’s topic focused on use cases for implementing artificial intelligence.

A successful day of eclipse chasing! My friend and I decided to venture to Ohio for totality (concerned about NWPA cloud cover) and it was simply stunning! A truly incredible sight to see with my own eyes! 😎 WPSU Weather World PCN College of EMS

Some faculty and alumni from the College of EMS enjoyed totality in Medina County, Ohio. An amazing experience!

This @nsf grant led by @psuresearch looks at salt contamination of water. “Saltwater contamination has been discussed a lot ... but what’s novel about this project is that it is addressing surface water contamination,” said Raymond Najjar. buff.ly/4cIWR10

As you gear up to watch this rare solar eclipse on Monday check out @NASAPASpaceGrant page for more information and to find live balloon streams for a look beyond the clouds! buff.ly/3PN4gTe

This month's podcast discusses #climate leadership and the younger generation with Mark Ortiz (Mark Ortiz) and Rasha Elwakil of Penn State's Global Youth Storytelling and Research Lab (@thegysrl).

Silicon carbide is increasingly becoming essential to modern green technologies like electric vehicles and energy systems. Penn State launched the Silicon Carbide Innovation Alliance, the nation's hub for research, development and workforce training. buff.ly/3J2aw5U

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, our Coffee Hour scheduled for Friday, April 5th has been canceled.

Stay tuned for info about our next Coffee Hour happening on April 26th!

'SiC is the critical semiconductor for the energy transition because it is at the center of several next-generation ‘green’ technologies,” said Joshua Robinson, MatSE @ Penn State.
