Lehigh Faculty Featured in Various Media Outlets: Summer 2025 edition
In the realm of materials science and engineering, a significant breakthrough has been made. Researchers, led by Martin Harmer, Professor Emeritus, have developed a new copper alloy that boasts properties ideal for constructing advanced airplanes and spacecraft.
This innovative alloy combines the excellent conductivity of copper with the strength and durability of nickel-based superalloys. Its unique properties make it stronger than steel and capable of withstanding temperatures of up to 1500°C, a remarkable feat in the world of materials science.
However, while this development is capturing the attention of scientists and engineers, another pressing issue is gaining traction in the field of education. J. Cameron Anglum, an assistant professor of educational leadership, and doctoral student Dylan Young '30, have emphasized the importance of a robust pipeline of new teachers.
With higher teacher turnover rates and increased reports of burnout, strengthening the early career teacher pipeline has become a matter of vital importance, according to Anglum and Young. The financial resources available to public schools play a significant role in this, as they determine the ability to compensate educators adequately.
These two developments, while seemingly unrelated, underscore the importance of investment in various sectors. While the new copper alloy promises to revolutionize the aviation and space industries, the robust pipeline of new teachers is crucial for the future of education. Both areas require ongoing support and investment to ensure their continued growth and success.
