rain drop on barrel Rain Barrels and Other Household Stormwater Strategies Are Working — For Now.  
May 5 2026
In the last two decades coastal urban areas have taken steps to better minimize flooding and runoff by creating more permeable surfaces and encouraging residents to participate in water retention and use-reduction programs. These efforts, ranging from adding rain barrels and cisterns, to installing water-efficient fixtures, are making a difference, according to new research from Drexel University. And they may play an even more important role as sea level rise and the extreme weather effects of climate change increase the threat of flooding in these communities.

Person typing on phone to AI chatbot. Teens Are Becoming Concerned About Their Attachment to AI Chatbots
Apr 13 2026
It’s estimated that more than half of all of U.S. teens are regularly using companion chatbots powered by large language models and generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The programs, such as Character.AI, Replika and Kindroid, are intended to provide companionship, according to the companies that make them. But a recent study from Drexel University suggests that teens are concerned that these attachments are becoming unhealthy and affecting their lives offline.
tar-like liquid breaking apart Drexel Researchers Discover Liquids Have a Breaking Point
Mar 26 2026
In a development that could shift our basic understanding of fluid mechanics, researchers from Drexel University have reported that, given the right circumstances, it is possible to induce a simple liquid to fracture like a solid object. Recently published in the journal Physical Review Letters, the research shows how viscous liquids can suddenly break if stretched with enough force.

MXene 1D Nanoscroll MXene Nanomaterials Enter a New Dimension
Jan 29 2026
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.
A Nanomaterial Flex — MXene Electrodes Help OLED Display Technology Shine, While Bending and Stretching
Jan 14 2026
The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology behind flexible cell phones, curved monitors, and televisions could one day be used to make on-skin sensors that show changes in temperature, blood flow, and pressure in real time. An international collaboration, led by researchers from Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea and Drexel University, has developed a flexible and stretchable OLED that could put the technology on track for this use and a range of new applications.
