Combining AI and Art-making for Youth Well-being

After gaining experience as a qualitative researcher in public health, Eileen Feng mused about how she might take that knowledge and apply it to product design. She sought out a program soon after completing a master’s program in public health, finding her fit with the Integrated Product Design master’s program, a joint program between the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Wharton School, and the Weitzman School of Design.

Violent Language in Films Has Increased Since the 1970s: A New Study

Violent entertainment has made it into the public discourse due to rising concerns about the graphic nature of highly popular video game franchises including Grand Theft Auto (GTA) and Call of Duty. But what about violence in films which are enjoyed by a much larger and more diverse audience?

Is Moore’s Law Really Dead?

In 1965, Gordon Moore defined a relationship between cadence and cost for computing innovation that came to be known as “Moore’s Law.” This rule both described and inspired the exponential growth that built the Information Age.

Revolutionizing Data Centers: Penn Engineers’ Breakthrough in Photonic Switching

Every second, terabytes of data — the equivalent of downloading thousands upon thousands of movies at once — travel around the world as light in fiber-optic cables, like so many cars packed onto a super-fast highway. When that information reaches data centers, it needs a switching system, just as cars need traffic lights, to exit the highway in an orderly fashion.
