Graphene is the thinnest material known to science, and one of the strongest as well. A 1-atom-thick sheet of carbon, graphene was the first 2-dimensional material ever discovered. By weight, it is 150 to 200 times stronger than steel. It is also flexible, dense, virtually transparent and a superb conductor of heat and electricity.
Sabrina Jedlicka, assistant professor of materials science and engineering and John Coulter, interim Dean and professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics, are continuing their multi-year effort to develop well plate inserts that will enable advanced, efficient cell culturing for biomedical research.
Lehigh has received a highly competitive grant of $5 million to participate in a national initiative aimed at improving the resiliency and sustainability of the civil infrastructure to better withstand the effects of earthquakes and other natural hazards.
