Why do self-driving cars crash?

Whether they are built by billionaires plagued by social media addictions, or long-standing corporations of the traditional automotive industry, self-driving vehicles are the future of moving people and stuff.

Lehigh ChBE researchers streamline synthesis of quantum dots

Quantum dots are nanoscale crystalline particles that act as semiconductors. When exposed to UV light, they emit energy in the form of light, and the size of the quantum dot determines the color it emits.

“So by tuning the particle’s size, you can essentially tune its optical properties,” says Mark Snyder, an associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering (ChBE) in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. “Which makes them interesting materials to use in applications like bioimaging.”

New research grant funding for ChBE faculty

Everyday faculty are engaging in research and scholarship across many disciplines. To earn grant funding is no small feat. Each scholarly discovery not only offers new perspectives to the research and educational missions of the ChBE department at Lehigh but is also a testament of quality innovation hard at work.
