Facebook Myspace

Myspace will on Wednesday launch a fully revamped version of its website in a move aimed at repositioning the company ahead of a decision on its future by its owner, News Corp.

The revamped MySpace will be a “drastic change” and a significant departure from the site’s past, Mike Jones, chief executive, told the Financial Times.

“It’s a completely new website,” he said. “We felt that over time MySpace had become very broad in what it was offering. We believe that companies with a very singular focus have very happy users.”

A team led by three Drexel electrical engineering professors has developed transparent antennas made of polymers and are working on commercializing the invention.

The project is led by electrical engineering professors Kapil Dandekar, Adam Fontecchio and Timothy Kurzweg.

The project team created the polymer antennas through an inkjet-like printer they put together. The printer prints polymers on different materials, rather than ink on paper, according to Dandekar.

Dandekar's expertise in the project is in wireless communications systems and antenna design. Fontecchio focuses on conductive polymers, while Kurzweg focuses on the printing process the project uses.

Dandekar said he and Fontecchio began discussing potential uses of conductive polymers for wireless communications in 2004. They first tried replacing and modifying an inkjet printer so it could print polymers, but eventually realized they would need more specialized technology.

According to Dandekar, the transparent antennas have a wide variety of potential applications.

The Academic Building was rededicated as the Paul Peck Problem Solving and Research Building in a ceremony Oct. 21. The event also brought the announcement of the Paul Peck Problem Solving and Research Institute, a new interdisciplinary University initiative.

"All the problems we have in society," Paul Peck said in his speech at the reception, "none of them are single or siloed problems."

Peck announced that the Institute will be manifested as a selective undergraduate program, a multidisciplinary research strategy and a think tank with people "who are going to come up with operational solutions and provide guidelines" to address a number of the major problems facing the United States.

"Industry says it wants people who can write and use statistics for decision making ... entrepreneurs and leaders, [who] know history and global affairs." Peck calls these students "thinking-problem-solvers-plus."

"You don't get through Drexel without persistence," Peck said. "Some colleges graduate children - not Drexel. We graduate responsible adults who can contribute."
