Penn Engineers Demonstrate Metamaterials That Can Solve Equations
The field of metamaterials involves designing complicated, composite structures, some of which can manipulate electromagnetic waves in ways that are impossible in naturally occurring materials. For Nader Engheta, H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, one of the loftier goals in this field has been to design metamaterials that can solve equations. Read More
Marc Miskin’s Micro-Robots are Small Enough to be Injected by Syringe
Marc Miskin, assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, has only been at Penn Engineering since January, but his work in micro-robotics is already making waves. His 70-micron-long robots are mass-produced from silicon wafers using microchip-manufacturing techniques, with each robot featuring legs made out of platinum and titanium, as well as a set of solar panels on its back.
