| Keegan Dubbs: Engineering Her Way Forward |
|||
Keegan Dubbs (MSE'13) had never heard of engineering when her high school physics teacher suggested she pursue it in college. She had always loved math and science, but engineering? Now a junior at the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Dubbs recalls her first look at Penn. "I loved it. I was completely sold after visiting." A native of Minneapolis, MN, Dubbs fell hard for the vibrant, urban campus. |

Levitation of a Rare Earth Magnet
In the classroom of Daniel Gianola, the Meissner effect is demonstrated with a rare earth magnet above a YBCO high critical temperature superconductor. The superconductor discs were synthesized by undergraduate students as part of the course MSE 250, Nanoscale Materials Laboratory. Watch the video!
Our Materials Science research involves many areas of nanoscience. Check out what a carbon nanotube really is, how one is made and what a nanotube can be used for!
In the future, buildings may respond to their external environments. Led by Shu Yang, a research team has developed plans for a structure that will respond to its environment in order to optimize comfort, energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Learn more!
