The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including how they are spinning. One of the most accurate systems for high performance ...

Runze Li, Eberly Family Chair Professor in Statistics, has been selected to serve as co-editor-elect of the Journal of the American Statistical Association (JASA) for 2026 and as co-editor of JASA ...

, an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Penn State will study the underlying mechanisms of nightmares and their relationship with anxiety-related mental health disorders, such as post-traumatic ...

New play in transition metal chemistry playbook revealed. New research shows that net oxidative addition can occur via a different order of events in which the transitiion metal complex accepts ...

The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences at Penn State has secured a major new asset in structural biology and mechanobiology research with the award of a $750,000 grant from the Office of Research ...

When stars collapse, they can leave behind incredibly dense but relatively small and cold remnants called neutron stars. If two stars collapse in close proximity, the leftover binary neutron stars ...

Astronomers combine X-ray observations with supercomputer simulations to provide best modeling of the growth of supermassive black holes.

Program Summary The Eberly College of Science is committed to supporting our researchers in translating their research for society. Translation is an early part of technology transfer where scientific ...

While rotating tiny planets at the end of their wires around a bright orange sun, some might wonder about the accuracy of these toy models of our solar system. Do the planets really align in a plane, ...

A new process by Penn State chemists improves how we extract and separate rare earth elements, including from unconventional sources.

Before the evolution of legs from fins, the axial skeleton — including the bones of the head, neck, back and ribs — was already going through changes that would eventually help our ancestors support ...
