Terahertz lasers could soon have their moment. Emitting radiation that sits somewhere between microwaves and infrared light along the electromagnetic spectrum, terahertz lasers have been the focus of intense study because of their ability to penetrate common packaging materials (such as plastics, fabrics, and cardboard) and to be used for identification and detection of various chemicals and biomolecular species—and even for imaging of some types of biological tissue without causing damage.

Research funded by $3.3M NIH grant will provide clearer understanding of “intrinsically disordered” protein that holds promise in developing treatments for ALS, Alzheimer’s disease

On the surface, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease share two commonalities: Both are progressively debilitating neurodegenerative conditions—meaning symptoms get worse—and, at least for now, neither has an effective treatment, let alone a cure. 

The virus SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the known cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The “spike” or S protein facilitates viral entry into host cells. 

Christopher J. Kiely, the Harold B. Chambers Senior Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, has been elected as a Fellow of the Microanalysis Society (MAS).

The world’s population will continue to grow, but the amount of arable land to feed that population will not. 

The Industrial and Systems Engineering Department is pleased to welcome Dr. Aida Khajavirad as Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, beginning August 15, 2020.

Professor Jeetain Mittal, the Sam and Ruth Madrid Endowed Chair in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering recently received a $3.3 million NIH grant, in collaboration with Brown University, entitled "Functional and pathological  interactions of TDP-43." The grant is part of t

Dan M. Frangopol, the inaugural Fazlur R. Khan Endowed Chair of Structural Engineering and Architecture at Lehigh University, has been elected to the National Academy of Construction (NAC).

NAC members are selected through a rigorous peer nomination and election process and come from all sectors of the built environment—owners, contractors, designers, government agencies, professional service firms, and academia.

Two Rossin College professors recently took part in Lehigh's Mountain Talks video series, which features intriguing 30-minute conversations with faculty members and thought-leading alumni. Follow the links below to view the recorded webinars.
