A schematic for an unobtrusive, wearable electronic health monitoring system. Penn State is part of a collaborative research effort to create self-powered devices to help people monitor their health.

This image is from the last sequence of images NASA's Dawn spacecraft obtained of the giant asteroid Vesta, looking down at Vesta's north pole as it was departing.

The mentioned research group has set its main goal on preparing selective and environmentally friendly adsorbents for fast separation and concentration of uranyl and thorium from aqueous solutions, for quite a while.

The modification was used in order to increase the photocatalytic activity of the nanocatalyst. The catalysts synthesized through this method can be used cost-effectively at large scale in the purification of textile industry wastewater after more optimization.

Swirls of green and red appear in an aurora over Whitehorse, Yukon on the night of September 3, 2012. The aurora was due to the interaction of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun with Earth's magnetosphere. The CME left the sun on August 31 and arrived on September 3.

An artist's rendering of a transition metal oxide superlattice, with an actual transmission electron microscopy image superimposed on the left panel. The red is manganese, yellow is lanthanum and blue is strontium. The top is a Fermi surface map which illustrates how electrons move in the material.

Cell stabilization is the physical holding or connection of a cell in a particular place in a way that it can be used repeatedly and continuously.
