Materials science researchers are developing novel instrumentation that could outperform synchrotron-based x-ray absorption spectrometry in giving scientists a clearer picture of elemental composition and chemical bonding at the nanoscale level 

Lehigh University researchers are transforming an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) into the equivalent of a synchrotron facility (a football-field-size particle accelerator), with greatly improved spatial resolution and versatility.

Engineering professor and researcher lauded for contributions to semiconductor photonics technologies

Lehigh University’s Nelson Tansu has been named as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for contributions to semiconductor photonics technologies.

In an essay recently published in Energy Central's special issue on “Distributed Energy Resources: What’s New?”, Rudy Shankar, director of Lehigh's Energy Systems Engineering (ESE) program, and colleagues explain Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), distributed energy resources (DERs), and how Lehigh has played a role in this technolog

Elsa Reichmanis, Professor and Carl Robert Anderson Chair in Chemical Engineering at Lehigh University, has been elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), a highly prestigious honor recognizing her accomplishments as an academic inventor.

Industrial and Systems Engineering Professor and Director of Institute for Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation (I-DISC) Lawrence V. Snyder was recently interviewed for an article in Supply Chain Dive, a leading industry publication providing insight on the most impactful news and trends shaping supply chain management.

Funded by $1.5M DOE grant, Lehigh’s Plasma Control Group embarks on new project at the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) that will contribute to eventual design of energy-producing tokamak reactors 

How will the future of fusion-powered nuclear energy take shape?

It could boil down to a question of apples versus donuts.

A group of Lehigh researchers will examine the physical and mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Lehigh Valley community. The project received support from a Lehigh University Fast Track Summer 2020 Research Grant.

Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. It’s the most common form of arthritis, and it affects more than 31 million Americans. Lesley Chow recently received a CAREER award for her work on a technique that may someday help cartilage regrow, and help people avoid debilitating pain.
