IceBot Lands Guinness World Record
Mark Yim, Asa Whitney Professor of Mechanical Engineering and director of the ModLab, along with ModLab grad student Devin Carroll, have designed a robot that can do exactly that with ice. And because it’s the first of its kind, IceBot has recently landed a place in the Guinness World Records. Read More
Penn Engineers’ Packaging-free Design Quadruples Microbatteries’ Energy Density
New research from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science has shown a new way to build and package microbatteries that maximizes energy density even at the smallest sizes. The study, published in the journal Advanced Materials, was led by James Pikul, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics in Penn engineering, Xiujun Yue, a postdoctoral scholar in his lab, Paul Braun, professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and John Cook, Director of R&D at Xerion Advanced Battery Corp.
