2.18 Engineering, Business Students Collaborate on Solutions for Boeing Case Competition Six teams of engineering and business students joined forces to solve a real-world aerospace manufacturing challenge, balancing two active Boeing contracts without disrupting production for either customer.
2.5 Philadelphia Communities Help AI Machine Learning Get Better at Spotting Gentrification In hopes of providing a better monitoring system for those seeking to mitigate the negative effects of gentrification, researchers at Drexel University have drawn on the wisdom of community members in Philadelphia neighborhoods that have been affected by it to hone a computer vision program that can reliably identify and track gentrification throughout the city.
1.29 MXene Nanomaterials Enter a New Dimension Researchers from Drexel University who discovered a versatile type of two-dimensional conductive nanomaterial, called a MXene, nearly a decade and a half ago, have now reported on a process for producing its one-dimensional cousin: the MXene nanoscroll. The group posits that these materials, which are 100 times thinner than human hair yet more conductive than their two-dimensional counterparts, could be used to improve the performance of energy storage devices, biosensors and wearable technology.
