The Women in Engineering day program at Penn State Behrend features a series of hands-on workshops, including scale-model pipelines, lava lamps and LED flowers.
These example images show advanced research using the Bruker Dimension Icon XR Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), located in 118 AMIC.
Dr. Xiaoshi Zhang conducted AFM on a fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) chip. All samples were previously prepared on the chip with controlled crystallization pathways. The selected crystallization pathways allow us to mimic real-life processing and the AFM scan enables us to know nanoscale morphology.
