Lehigh engineers are the first to utilize a single enzyme biomineralization process to create a catalyst that uses the energy of captured sunlight to split water molecules to produce hydrogen. The synthesis process is performed at room temperature and under ambient pressure, overcoming the sustainability and scalability challenges of previously reported methods.
There’s a new resident in the basement of Lehigh University’s Whitaker Lab that’s been attracting a lot of attention even before getting fully settled in.
Have engineers played a role in the current policy uncertainties surrounding the power grid and renewable energy?
It’s an exciting time for the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
Mechanical engineering and mechanics assistant professors Natasha Vermaak has been named recipients of 2019 Outstanding Reviewer awards by Acta Journals.
The awards recognize excellence in contributions as a reviewer for journals Acta Materialia and/or Scripta Materialia during 2018.
A new method of discovering materials using data analytics and electron microscopy has found a new class of extremely hard alloys. Such materials could potentially withstand severe impact from projectiles, providing better protection of soldiers in combat.
Snails secrete a mucus that acts like superglue, allowing them to adhere to rough surfaces like rocks.
Inspired by this aspect of snail biology, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania, Lehigh University and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have created a superglue-like material that is “intrinsically reversible.” In other words, it can easily come unglued.
