Just as a snowflake’s intricate structure vanishes when it melts and transforms when it refreezes, the microstructure of metals can change during the 3D printing process, but Cornell researchers have uncovered a way to control these transformations.
PI-eligible faculty can request up to $115,000 in CCSS Grant Preparation Funds to support the preparation of major external funding proposals with a substantial proposal process.
Cornell researchers have captured an unprecedented, real-time view of how a promising catalyst material transforms during operation, providing new insights that could lead to replacement of expensive precious metals in clean-energy technologies.
Pursuing research in sciences, social sciences, and humanities, the incoming Fellows will be the sixth cohort since the program was launched in 2019 with a major gift from Seth Klarman ’79 and Beth Schultz Klarman.
Benjamin Widom, Ph.D. ’53, Goldwin Smith Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, died Jan. 23 in Ithaca. He was 97.
Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
A Cornell chemist has created an alternative to unrecyclable, plastic-based thermosets by making a bio-sourced material that has crosslinked thermosets’ durability and malleability but can be easily recycled and degraded.
The research upends the long-standing belief is that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions and then dissipate over time.
